Seeking advice on the power-flow curve of exhaust-condensing steam turbines
Thread Content
I would like to ask the teachers: how should I interpret this diagram, how can I obtain the information from it, and what do the intersection points mean?

Within a certain range, as the steam flow increases, the output power definitely increases. 2. Within a certain range, extracting some of the steam will affect the rate of increase in output power; the output power will be lower than it would be if no steam were extracted (which is equivalent to a decrease in steam flow). 3. When certain conditions are met and there is sufficient steam flow, extracting steam within a certain range no longer affects the output power, because even without extraction, the steam will still condense completely in the rear condenser, meaning the turbine has already reached its capacity or is operating beyond it
