Forces on Steam Turbine Rotor
Topic: Forces on Rotor (Steam Turbine / Turbo-generator Rotor) The paragraph describes the various stresses and forces acting on a rotor during operation in a turbine or generator. 1. Centrifugal Stresses When the rotor rotates at high speed, each particle of the rotor experiences a centrifugal force acting radially outward.Read More
Eccentricity of steam turbine
Eccentricity refers to the deviation of the centerline of a rotating element, such as a steam turbine rotor, from its true axis of rotation. In a steam turbine, eccentricity can be caused by a variety of factors, including manufacturing tolerances, wear, and uneven thermal expansion. Some of the effects ofRead More
Importance of Turbine Stress Evaluators in Ensuring Safe and Efficient Turbine Operation
Turbines play a critical role in power generation, and they are subjected to significant mechanical and thermal stresses during operation. To ensure that turbines can withstand these stresses without failure, it is essential to have a tool that can evaluate their behavior under different operating conditions. This is where turbineRead More
