Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a 34 Watt Radial-Inflow Steam Turbine with Partial-Admission

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner

A micro steam turbine with a tip diameter of 15 mm was designed and experimentally characterized. At the nominal mass flow rate and total-to-total pressure ratio of 2.3 kg/h and 2, respectively, the turbine yields a power of 34 W and a total-to-static isen ...

Optimal Operations and Resilient Investments in Steam Networks

François Maréchal, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde

Steam is a key energy vector for industrial sites, most commonly used for process heating and cooling, cogeneration of heat and mechanical power as a motive fluid or for stripping. Steam networks are used to carry steam from producers to consumers and betw ...

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Low-Pressure Steam Turbines Operating Under Low Volume Flow

Peter Ott, Ivan William McBean, Benjamin Megerle

Nonsynchronous excitation under low volume operation is a major risk to the mechanical integrity of last stage moving blades (LSMBs) in low-pressure (LP) steam turbines. These vibrations are often induced by a rotating aerodynamic instability similar to ro ...
