Abstract: This article describes the effects of two methods for representing the nonuniform distribution of flow properties across a steam turbine discharge annulus, on the hood loss coefficient. One ...

Abstract: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are applied to the analysis of a low-pressure turbine exhaust hood at a typical steam power generating station. A Navier-Stokes solver, capable of ...

Abstract: The first application of sustained fast valving for nuclear units is planned for units 1 and 2 at the Tenneseee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The proposed turbine cycle ...
