Abstract: A simplified procedure is proposed, which reduces the cost of steam turbine acceptance testing without significantly affecting testing accuracy. This simplified acceptance test procedure is applicable ...

Abstract: The proper analysis of routine steam turbine performance test data can afford valuable information on the internal condition of a steam turbine. This paper outlines the theory behind the analysis ...

Abstract: The history of the design, manufacture, calibration, and use of 17 nozzles built by the General Electric Company for accurate flow measurements in conducting performance tests on large steam ...

Abstract: A method is presented for predicting the performance of modern steam turbine-generator units designed for high efficiency levels. This method is based on recent developmental and analytical ...

Abstract: During the past 10 years considerable experience has been gained in the use of ASME throat-tap nozzles for accurate flow measurement. Numerous precision calibrations have established turbulent ...

Abstract: The experience gained from conducting an ASME Steam Turbine code testing using radioactive tracers has confirmed the encouraging results obtained during initial feasibility studies. The test also ...

Abstract: For the pressure-temperature range of steam turbine operation the new International Formulation properties differ from those in Keenan and Keyes Steam Tables primarily in the values of enthalpy ...
