Abstract: The unsteady flow in inlet valves for large steam turbines used in power stations was investigated using the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). As the topology of the flow depends on the stroke and the pressure ...

Abstract: The power output of steam turbines is controlled by steam turbine inlet valves. These valves have a large flow capacity and dissipate a huge amount of energy in throttled operation. The dissipation process generates strong ...

Abstract: The paper aims to give an overview over the keystones of design of the turbomachine for a supercritical CO2 (sCO2) Brayton cycle. The described turbomachine is developed as part of a demonstration cycle on a laboratory ...
