Abstract: In the mass flow range −1.3 ≤ m/m N ≤ + 1.3 (N = nominal point) and in the speed range −1.0 ≤ n/n N ≤ +1.0 the four-quadrant characteristic of a turbine stage was completely measured. ...

Abstract: For operation of a gas turbine in single-cycle arrangement with a high-temperature reactor, rupture of a main circuit pipe has to be included in the safety considerations. In the event of ...

Abstract: With turbines, operation conditions far from the design range are possible. With gas turbines, in nuclear and solar energy plants in the case of a fault, flow in reverse directions may even ...
