20. STEAM TURBINE
INTRODUCTION
A turbine is a device that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy,
specifically when a rotor of multiple blades or vanes is driven by the
movement of a fluid or gas. In the case of a steam turbine, the pressure and
flow of newly condensed steam rapidly turns the rotor. This movement is
possible because the water to steam conversion results in a rapidly
expanding gas. As the turbine’s rotor turns, the rotating shaft can work to
accomplish numerous applications, often electricity generation.
STEAM TURBINE
Sectional View Of A Steam Turbine In a steam turbine, the steam’s energy is
extracted through the turbine and the steam leaves the turbine at a lower
energy state. High pressure and temperature fluid at the inlet of the turbine
exit as lower pressure and temperature fluid. The difference is energy
converted by the turbine to mechanical rotational energy, less any
21. aerodynamic and mechanical inefficiencies incurred in the process. Since the
fluid is at a lower pressure at the exit of the turbine than at the inlet, it is
common to say the fluid has been “expanded” across the turbine. Because of
the expanding flow, higher volumetric flow occurs at the turbine exit (at
least for compressible fluids) leading to the need for larger turbine exit areas
than at the inlet.
2.21. The generic symbol for a turbine used in a flow diagram is shown in
Figure below. The symbol diverges with a larger area at the exit than at the
inlet. This is how one can tell a turbine symbol from a compressor symbol. In
Figure, the graphic is colored to indicate the general trend of temperature
drop through a turbine. In a turbine with a high inlet pressure, the turbine
blades convert this pressure energy into velocity or kinetic energy, which
causes the blades to rotate. Many green cycles use a turbine in this fashion,
although the inlet conditions may not be the same as for a conventional high
pressure and temperature steam turbine. Bottoming cycles, for instance,
extract fluid energy that is at a lower pressure and temperature than a
turbine in a conventional power plant. A bottoming cycle might be used to
extract energy from the exhaust gases of a large diesel engine, but the fluid
in a bottoming cycle still has sufficient energy to be extracted across a
turbine, with the energy converted into rotational energy.
Flow of steam
22. Flow Diagram Of A Steam Turbine Turbines also extract energy in fluid flow
where the pressure is not high but where the fluid has sufficient fluid kinetic
energy. The classic example is a wind turbine, which converts the wind’s
kinetic energy to rotational energy. This type of kinetic energy conversion is
common in green energy cycles for applications ranging from larger wind
turbines to smaller hydrokinetic turbines currentlybeing designed for and
demonstrated in river and tidal applications. Turbines can be designed to
work well in a variety of fluids, including gases and liquids, where they are
used not only to drive generators, but also to drive compressors or pumps.
One common (and somewhat misleading) use of the word “turbine” is “gas
turbine,” as in a gas turbine engine. A gas turbine engine is more than just a
turbine and typically includes a compressor, combustorand turbine
combined to be a self-contained unit used to provide shaft or thrust power.
The turbine component inside the gas turbine still provides power, but a
compressor and combustorare required to make a self-contained system
that needs only the fuel to burn in the combustor. An additional use for
turbines in industrial applications that may also be applicable in some green
energy systems is to cool a fluid. As previously mentioned, when a turbine
extracts energy from a fluid, the fluid temperature is reduced.
23. 2.2. ADVANTAGES:-
• Ability to utilize high pressure and high temperature steam.
• High efficiency.
• High rotational speed.
• High capacity/weightratio.
• Smooth, nearly vibration-free operation.
• No internal lubrication.
• Oil free exhausts steam.
2.3 DISADVANTAGES:-
For slow speed application reduction gears are required. The steam turbine
cannot be made reversible. The efficiency of small simple steam turbines is
poor.
2.4 STEAM TURBINES THE MAINSTAY OF BHEL:-
• BHEL has the capability to design, manufacture and commission steam
turbines of up to 1000 MW rating for steam parameters ranging from 30 bars
to 300 bars pressure and initial & reheat temperatures up to 600ºC.
• Turbines are built on the building block system, consisting of modules
suitable for a range of output and steam parameters.
• For a desired output and steam parameters appropriate turbine blocks can
be selected.
24. 4. TYPES OF STEAM TURBINE
.
IMPULSE TURBINE
The principle of the impulse steam turbine consists of a casing containing
stationary steam nozzles and a rotor with moving or rotating buckets. The
steam passes through the stationary nozzles and is directed at high velocity
against rotor buckets causing the rotor to rotate at high speed. The following
events take place in the nozzles:
1. The steam pressure decreases.
2. The enthalpy of the steam decreases.
3. The steam velocity increases.
4. The volume of the steam increases.
5. There is a conversion of heat energy to kinetic energy as the heat energy
from the decrease in steam enthalpy is converted into kinetic energy by the
increased steam velocity.
THE IMPULSE PRINCIPLE
If steam at high pressure is allowed to expand through stationarynozzles,
the result will be a drop in the steam pressure and an increase in steam
velocity. In fact, the steam will issue from the nozzle in the form of a high-
speed jet. If this high steam is applied to a properly shaped turbine blade, it
will change in direction due to the shape of the blade. The effect of this
change in direction of the steam flow will be to produce an impulse force, on
the blade causing it to move. If the blade is attached to the rotor of a turbine,
then the rotor will revolve. Force applied to the blade is developed by
causing the steam to change direction of flow (Newton’s 2nd Law – change
of momentum). Thechange of momentum produces the impulse force. The
fact that the pressure does not drop across the moving blades is the
distinguishing feature of the impulse turbine. The pressure at the inlet to the
moving blades is the same as the pressure at the outlet from the moving
blades.
25. REACTION PRINCIPLE
A reaction turbine has rows of fixed blades alternating with rows of moving
blades. The steam expands first in the stationary or fixed blades where it
gains some velocity as it drops in pressure. It then enters the moving blades
where its direction of flow is changed thus producing an impulse force on
the moving blades. In addition, however, the steam upon passing through
the moving blades again expands and further drops in pressure giving a
reaction force to the blades. This sequence is repeated as the steampasses
through additional rows of fixed and moving blades.
IMPULSE TURBINE STAGING
In order for the steam to give up all its kinetic energy to the moving blades
in an impulse turbine, it should leave the blades at zero absolute velocity.
This condition will exist if the blade velocity is equalto one half of the steam
velocity. Therefore, for good efficiency the blade velocity should be about
one half of steam velocity. In order to reduce steam velocity and blade
velocity, the following methods may be used:
1.Pressure compounding.
2.Velocity compounding.
3.Pressure-velocitycompounding.
4.Pressure Compounding.
26. TURBINE PARTS
TURBINE BLADES
• Cylindrical reaction blades for HP, IP and LP Turbines
• 3-DS blades, in initial stages of HP and IP Turbine, to reduce secondary
losses.
• Twisted blade with integral shroud, in last stages of HP, IP and initial
stages of LP turbines, to reduce profile and Tip leakage losses o Free
standing LP moving blades Tip sections with supersonic design. o Fir-tree
root o Flame hardening of the leading edge o Banana type hollow guide
blade
Tapered and forward leaning for optimized mass flow distribution o Suction
slits for moisture removal
27. TURBINE CASING
Casings or cylinders are of the horizontal split type. This is not ideal, as the
heavy flanges of the joints are slow to follow the temperature changes of the
cylinder walls. However, for assembling and inspection purposes there is no
other solution. The casing is heavy in order to withstand the high pressures
and temperatures. It is general practice to let the thickness of walls and
flanges decrease from inlet- to exhaust-end. Thecasing joints are made
steam tight, without the use of gaskets, by matching the flange faces very
exactly and very smoothly. The bolt holes in the flanges are drilled for
smoothly fitting bolts, but dowel pins are often added to secure exact
alignment of the flange joint. Double casings are used for very high steam
pressures. Thehigh pressure is applied to the inner casing, which is open at
the exhaust end, letting the turbine exhaust to the outer casings.
28. TURBINE ROTORS
The design of a turbine rotor depends on the operating principle of the
turbine. The impulse turbine with pressure drop across the stationaryblades
must have seals between stationary blades and the rotor. The smaller the
sealing area, the smaller the leakage; therefore the stationary blades are
mounted in diaphragms with labyrinth seals around thes haft. This
construction requires a disc rotor.Basically there are two types of rotor:
1 . DISC ROTORS
All larger disc rotors are now machined out of a solid forging of nickel steel;
this should give the strongest rotor and a fully balanced rotor. It is rather
expensive, as the weight of the final rotor is approximately 50% of the initial
forging. Older or smaller disc rotors have shaft and discs made in separate
pieces with the discs shrunk on the shaft. Thebore of the discs is made 0.1%
smaller in diameter than the shaft. The discs are then heated until they easily
are slid along the shaft and located in the correct position on the shaft and
shaft key. A small clearance between the discs prevents thermal stress in the
shaft.
2. DRUM ROTORS
The first reaction turbines had solid forged drum rotors. They were strong,
generally well balanced as they were machined over the total surface. With
the increasing size of turbines the solid rotors got too heavy pieces. For good
balance the drum must be machined both outside and inside and the drum
must be open at one end. The second part of the rotor is the drum end cover
with shaf.
29. 1. CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES OF A BLADE
2. The blade can be divided into 3 parts:
3. The profile, which converts the thermal energy of steam into kinetic
energy, with a certain efficiency depending upon the profile shape. The
root, which fixes the blade to the turbine rotor, giving a proper anchor to
the blade, and transmitting the kinetic energy of the blade to the rotor.
The damping element, which reduces the vibrations which necessarily
occur in the blades due to the steam flowing through the blades. These
damping elements may be integral with blades, or they may be separate
elements mounted between the blades. Each of these elements will be
separately dealt with in the following sections

broaching machine available could not handle the sizes of the root. The
typical roots used for the HP moving blades for various steam turbine
applications are 1) T-ROOT 2) T-ROOT WITH SIDE GRIP
31. 2 L.P. BLADE PROFILES
The LP blade profiles of moving blades are twisted and tapered. These
blades are used when blade height-to-mean stage diameter ratio (h/Dm)
exceeds 0.2.
2.1 LP BLADE ROOTS The roots of LP blades are as follows:
1) 2 Blading : a. The roots of both the LP stages in –2 type of LP Blading are
T-roots.
2) 3 Blading: a. The last stage LP blade of HK, SK and LK blades have a fork-
root. SK blades have4-fork roots for all sizes. HK blades have 4-fork roots up
to 56 size, where modified profiles are used. Beyond this size, HK blades
have 3 fork roots. LK blades have 3-forkroots for all sizes. The roots of the LP
blades of preceding stages are of T-roots.
2.2 DYNAMICS IN BLADE The excitation of any blade comes from
different sources. They are Nozzle-passing excitation: As the blades pass the
nozzles of the stage, they encounterflow disturbances due to the pressure
variations across the guide blade passage. Theyalso encounter disturbances
due to the wakes and eddies in the flow path. Theexcitation gets repeated at
every pitch of the blade. This is called nozzle-passing frequency excitation.
The order of this frequency=no. of guide blades x speed of the machine.
Multiples of this frequencyare considered for checking for resonance.
32. BLADING MATERIALS
Among the different materials typically used for blading are 403 stainless
steel, 422 stainless steel, A-286, and Haynes Satellites Alloy Number 31 and
titanium alloy.
The403 stainless steel is essentially the industry’s standard blade material
and, on impulse steamturbines, it is probably found on over 90 percent of
all the stages. It is used because of its high yield strength, endurance limit,
ductility, toughness, erosion and corrosion resistance, and damping. It is
used within a Brinell hardness range of 207 to 248 to maximize its damping
and corrosion resistance.
The 422 stainless steel material is applied only on high temperature stages
(between 700 and 900°F or 371 and 482°C), where its higher yield, endurance,
creep and rupture strengths are needed. TheA-286 material is a nickel-based
superalloy that is generally used in hot gas expanders with stage
temperatures between 900 and 1150°F (482 and 621°C).
The Haynes Satellites Alloy Number 31 is a cobalt-based superalloy and is
used on jet expanders when precision cast blades are needed. The Haynes
Satellite Number 31 is used at stage temperatures between 900 and 1200°F
(482 and 649°C).
Another blade material is titanium. Its high strength, low density,
and good erosion resistance make it a good candidate for high speed or long-
last stage blading.
33. MANUFACTURINGPROCESS
INTRODUCTION
Manufacturing process is that part of the production process which is
directly concerned with the change of form or dimensions of the part being
produced. It does not include the transportation, handling or storage of
parts, as they are not directly concerned with the changes into the form or
dimensions of the part produced.
Manufacturing is the backbone of any industrialized nation.
Manufacturing and technicalstaff in industry must know the various
manufacturing processes, materials being processed, tools and equipments
for manufacturing different components or products with optimal process
plan using proper precautions and specified safetyrules to avoid accidents.
Beside above, all kinds of the future engineers must know the basic
requirements of workshop activities in term of man, machine, material,
methods, money and other infrastructure facilities needed to be positioned
properly for optimal shop layouts or plant layout and other support services
effectively adjusted or located in the industryor plant within a well planned
manufacturing organization.
Today’s competitive manufacturing era of high industrial
development and research, is being called the age of mechanization,
automation and computerintegrated manufacturing. Due to new researches
in the manufacturing field, the advancement has come to this extent that
every different aspect of this technologyhas become a full- fledged
fundamentaland advanced studyin itself. This has led to introduction of
optimized design and manufacturing of new products. New developments in
manufacturing areas are deciding to transfermore skill to the machines for
considerablyreduction of manual labor.
34. CLASSIFICATIONOF MANUFACTURING
PROCESSES
For producing of products materials are needed. It is therefore important to
know the characteristics of the available engineering materials. Raw
materials used manufacturing of products, tools, machines and equipments
in factories or industries are for providing commercial castings, called ingots.
Such ingots are then processed in rolling mills to obtain market form of
material supplyin form of bloom, billets, slabs and rods. These forms of
material supplyare further subjected tovarious manufacturing processes for
getting usable metal products of different shapes and sizes in various
manufacturing shops. All these processes used in manufacturing concern for
changing the ingots into usable products may be classified into six major
groups as Primary shaping processes Secondarymachining processes Metal
forming processes Joining processes Surface finishing processes and
Processes effecting change in properties
PRIMARY SHAPING PROCESSES
Primary shaping processes are manufacturing of a product from an
amorphous material. Some processes produces finish products or articles
into its usualform whereas others do not, and require furtherworking to
finish component to the desired shape and size. The parts produced
through these processes may or may not require to undergofurther
operations.
Some of the important primary shaping processes are:
Casting
Powder metallurgy
Plastic technology
Gas cutting
Bending
Forging
35. SECONDARY OR MACHINING PROCESSES
As large number of components require further processing afterthe primary
processes. These components are subjected to one or more number of
machining operations in machine shops, to obtain the desired shape and
dimensional accuracyon flat and cylindrical jobs. Thus, the jobs undergoing
these operations are the roughly finished products received through primary
shaping processes.
The process of removing the undesired or unwanted material from the
work-piece or job or component to produce a required shape using a cutting
tool is known as machining.
This can be done by a manual process or by using a machine called machine
tool (traditional machines namely lathe, milling machine, drilling, shaper,
planner, slotter).
In many cases these operations are performed on rods, bars and flat surfaces
in machine shops. These secondaryprocesses are mainly required for
achieving dimensional accuracyand a very high degree of surface finish.
The secondaryprocesses require the use of one or more machine tools,
various single or multi-point cutting tools (cutters), jobholding devices,
marking and measuring instruments, testing devices and gauges etc.
forgetting desired dimensional control and required degree of surface finish
on the work-pieces.
The example of parts produced by machining processes includes hand tools
machine tools instruments, automobile parts, nuts, bolts and gears etc.
36. Lot of material is wasted as scrap in the secondary or machining process.
Some of the common secondaryor machining processes are:
Turning
Threading
Knurling
Milling
Drilling
Boring
Planning
Shaping
Slotting
Sawing
Broaching
Hobbing
Grinding
Gear Cutting
Thread cutting
and Unconventional machining processes namely machining with
Numerical control (NC) machines tools or
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool using ECM, LBM, AJM,
USM setups.
