A steam turbine is designed and optimized for a specific set of steam conditions. After long term operations either the steam path components deteriorate or due to changes in steam conditions, a ...
Dr. L. C. Loewenstein, of the General Electric Company, will give the fifth of a series of nine public lectures on the steam turbine, in Pierce 110 today at 12 o'clock. The subject of today's lecture ...
When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...
The SteamTurbine Diagram parameter screen gives an overview of the steam turbine associated with the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) system. This screen is available for both the NGCC and IGCC ...
IN this volume there is contained an authentic record of steps taken in the development of a great invention. Lord Kelvin once described the work done by the Hon. Sir Charles Parsons in connection ...
J-seals are an integral part of efficient steam turbine operation. The failure of a J-seal can cause significant damage to the turbine rotor as material migrates downstream. For that reason, plant ...
All conventional power sources—from coal and gas plants to high-tech nuclear fission and potential future nuclear fusion reactors—boil down to the same basic thing: heating water into steam to spin a ...
