Finite Element Analysis of Steam Turbine Components for Real Life Assessment Studies of 210 MW Steam Turbine
Abstract: The turbine rotor or steam turbine rotor is subjected to temperature variations in short periods of time due to the start and stop cycles of the turbine. This causes sudden changes in the temperature with transient thermal stresses being induced into the turbine rotor. The transient effect is due to the changes in the material properties like density, specific heat and Young’s modulus. The estimate of thermal stresses induced in …
