Requirements for steam pressure in steam turbines
Thread Content
Many companies are using steam turbines these days. Question: 1. What are the requirements for the steam pressure used in a steam turbine? 2. What is the relationship between the power output by a steam turbine and the steam pressure used? 3. Must the steam pressure used be higher than the pressure of the gas being compressed?
Generally, the steam pressure for industrial use is 1.5 t for low-pressure steam and 3.5 t for high-pressure steam; there are differences depending on the equipment. Pressure and temperature are important factors that determine the performance of a turbine. According to the law of conservation of energy, higher pressure and temperature should result in greater output power; the last factor is related to temperature, but this is not necessarily the case
