Cooling Of Steam Turbines

Avoiding Stressed-Out Steam Turbines

assembly, Pro/ENGINEER CAD geometry was imported into ANSYS Mechanical software and meshed using SOLID185 elements. Frictionless surface-tosurface contact pairs with augmented Lagrangian algorithms were created between mating surfaces. A matching node pattern was maintained at the root and slot pressure faces, where load transfers take place between the two components. As an in-house design pra...

Power Plants, Steam and Gas Turbines WebQuest

A WebQuest is an Internet-based and inquiry-oriented learning activity. The aim of this work is to outline the creation of a WebQuest entitled “Power Generation Plants: Steam and Gas Turbines.” This is one of the topics covered in the course “Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer,” which is offered in the second year of Mechanical Engineering at the Defense University Center at the Naval Academy in ...

Endwall Film-Cooling in Axial Flow Turbines

thermodynamic analysis of advance technology com-bined cycle power plant emploing water/steam closed loop cooling in gas turbines

combined cycle performance can be improved by improving the performance of gas turbine based topping cycle. amongst various options the effective cooling of gas turbine blade for realizing the higher turbine inlet temperatures is one of the attractive options. the present paper deals with the thermodynam-ic analysis of advanced technology gas/steam combined cycle based power plant having closed...
