Analysis of Turbine Efficiency

Turbine Design and Efficiency Explain how the blades of a typical turbine are shaped to convert energy to work. Describe how steam conditions at the inlet to the turbine affect turbine efficiency. Internal Efficiency Losses Part 1 Explain how chemical deposits on internal turbine components affect turbine efficiency and unit heat rate. Explain how solid particle erosion of internal turbine components affects turbine efficiency and unit heat rate. Identify ways to minimize chemical deposits and solid particle erosion. Internal Efficiency Losses Part 2 Explain how problems with the spill strip packing and packing rings can affect turbine efficiency and unit heat rate Explain how problems with the seals between the casing and the rotor can affect turbine efficiency and unit heat rate.
