Abstract

On the basis of the one-dimensional theory of calculating the operation of steam turbine stages the method for determining the idle mode, the initial data for which are the geometric characteristics of the blade rows is proposed. Formulas have been obtained that make it possible to calculate the efficiency in the proximity of Rotor Blades (RB) at operating modes from nominal to the idle mode, depending on the flow rate of the stage and taking into account the use of kinetic energy with the runaway velocity and losses arising at off-design angles of flow on the Rotor Blade (RB). The results of possible computational studies and their comparison for an incompressible working fluid with the results of experimental studies showed the good possibilities of the proposed method for determining the idle mode in a wide range of the characteristics of stages.

Keywords:
