Simulation of steam turbines
Thread Content
Dear experts, how should one simulate a steam turbine? 1. For those with back pressure, can the expander module be used? What is the general efficiency level? 2. How to simulate a fully condensed turbine? What is the efficiency? 3. How to simulate the extraction-type or extraction-condensation type? What is the efficiency? Thank you!
I’ll take one myself. It was found that the expander module can only simulate back-pressure or condensing types; it is not possible to have two outlets, meaning that extraction-condensing or extraction-back-pressure types cannot be implemented. Should it be processed in a series configuration?
In the condensing mode, the outlet pressure is set to the designed negative pressure; back extraction or condensation only simulates the staged expansion of the turbine, that is, series expansion
