The calculation problem of thermodynamic processes in a steam turbine

Abstract

This paper covers the calculation of aerodynamic processes in a steam turbine using the modern information technologies and computational methods, that are contributed to the increasing the accuracy of the calculations. The practical significance is the development and application of the model of aerodynamic processes in a steam turbine, and determination of limits and prospects with using of proposed model. The aerodynamic processes in a turbine are characterized by the air and heat flow non-uniformity, significantly affect the reliability and efficiency of the turbine. The calculation was performed taking into account the complex geometry of the turbine, and can be applied to any turbine of similar design with minor changes.
