An ideal steam turbine is considered to be an isentropic process, or constant entropy process, in which the entropy of the steam entering the turbine is equal to the entropy of the steam leaving the turbine. No steam turbine is truly isentropic, however, with typical isentropic efficiencies ranging from 20 to 90% based on the application of the turbine. The interior of a turbine comprises sev

6 FAQs about [The air inlet temperature of the steam turbine generator is high]
What is the inlet temperature of a steam turbine?
The highest inlet steam temperature currently applied to actual supercritical pressure and USC steam turbines is between 566°C and 620°C. However, a next-generation A-USC pressure steam turbine project is aiming at 700°C-class inlet temperature application, as a national development project.
How does steam inlet pressure affect turbine performance?
Turbine steam inlet pressure is a major parameter affecting turbine performance. To retain the design efficiency the steam inlet pressure should be maintained. Lowering steam inlet pressure reduces turbine efficiency and increases steam consumption.
How hot is a gas turbine inlet?
... Accordingly, the turbine inlet temperatures (TIT) accused a serious increase lately. In fact, the maximum admissible temperatures in modern gas turbine engines available in the literature range between 1100 and 2000 K .
What happens if a steam turbine reaches a higher temperature?
At higher steam inlet temperatures, heat extraction by the turbine will also be increased. An increase of about 100 °F (55 °C) will reduce the steam consumption by about 6.6% in a condensing steam turbine and 8.8% in a back pressure turbine.
What happens if steam pressure is raised without raising inlet temperature?
If steam pressure is raised without raising inlet temperature, the wetness fraction of the low-pressure (LP) turbine increases, which results in wetness loss increase at the LP turbine. When wetness fraction of the LP turbine becomes 8%–12%, the countermeasure against drain erosion to the long blade of the LP turbine is required.
Why does the St power output increase with the turbine inlet temperature?
The ST power output was found increasing with increase the turbine inlet temperature; it is because the steam generated in the ST cycle was found increased with increase the turbine inlet temperature as shown in the fig. 12.
