    Study Notes

    Steam Turbine Principles and Design

    • Turbine nozzles convert heat energy into kinetic energy.
    • Labyrinth seals are made of brass or stainless steel and are designed to have small clearances between the shaft and casing.
    • Flange warming on a steam turbine decreases creep.
    • In pressure compound steam turbines, the expansion of steam from boiler pressure to exhaust pressure is carried out in a number of steps or stages, with each stage having a set of nozzles and a row of blades.
    • In an impulse turbine, there is a difference in pressure across the stationary blades, causing steam to tend to leak around the periphery of the blades instead of passing through them.
    • The pressure at the outlet from the moving blades is the same as the pressure at the inlet to the moving blades in a reaction turbine.

    Gas Turbine Principles and Design

    • The purpose of a regenerator in a gas turbine is to raise the air temperature before compression.
    • A gas turbine air compressor with an intercooler increases the volume of air being supplied.
    • The combustion chamber of a gas turbine burns fuel with excess air and utilizes 70% of the air supplied by the compressor for the actual combustion process.
    • A gas turbine combustion chamber requires a safety pressure relief device.
    • The capacity of a gas turbine will increase in cold weather because the density of the air is increased.
    • In a dual shaft gas turbine arrangement, the load turbine is downstream from the compressor turbine.
    • A gas turbine cycle is also known as the Joule cycle.
    • Vibration accelerometers are used to trip the turbine on rapid acceleration.
    • Protective devices will shut down the turbine if the lube oil pressure is too high or the governor oil pressure is too low.

    Gas Turbine Auxiliaries and Operation

    • An essential auxiliary in a gas turbine installation is a starting motor.
    • To keep the gas pass of a gas turbine clean, good quality fuel must be used, and air intake filters and ducts must be inspected and cleaned regularly.
    • Gas turbine lubricating oil systems provide the basic functions of lubricating sliding surfaces in the bearings, sealing out dirt and moisture, and cooling of the bearings.
    • The term "total energy arrangement" in gas turbine cycles refers to the system's ability to provide all necessary forms of energy.
    • When performing maintenance on a combustion unit of a gas turbine, tasks include readjusting fuel flows, cleaning fuel burners, and checking flame tubes for proper ignition.
    • A major overhaul is performed on a gas turbine according to the manufacturer's specifications.
    • Gas turbine oil systems consist of an oil reservoir, filters, pumps, coolers, and protective, monitoring, and control devices.
    • To keep the gas passages of a gas turbine clean, good quality fuel must be used, and air intake filters and ducts must be inspected and cleaned regularly.
