Abstract

In this study, the influence of mass flow rate on the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine nozzle stage is investigated. A realistic three-dimensional numerical model, which is based on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, is developed for the steam phase. The comprehensive conservation laws and a kinetic model for steam are investigated. With two different models for the three-dimensional geometry of the nozzle stage, the pressure and temperature distributions, velocity, Mach number. and Markov energy loss coefficient are calculated. A maximum efficiency of 96.66％ is found at a mass flow rate of 0.9 kg/s in model A. In model B, a maximum efficiency of 97.32％ is found at a rate of 1.6 kg/s. It is determined that the isentropic nozzle efficiency increases as the Markov energy loss coefficient decreases through a nearly linear relationship.

증기 질량 유량의 변화에 따른 증기 터빈 노즐 단의 등엔트로피 노즐 효율을 계산하였다. 증기상태에 관한 압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 기반으로 삼차원 수치해석 모델이 개발되었다. 두 가지의 삼차원 노즐 형상으로 압력, 온도, 속도, 마하수, 그리고 Markov 에너지 손실 계수가 계산되었다. 노즐 블레이드의 두께가 15mm에서 45mm로 증가함에 따라 최대 효율의 질량 유량은 0.9kg/s에서 1.6kg/s로 증가하였으며 최대 등엔트로피 효율은 각각 96.66%, 97.32%로 계산되었다. 질량 유량에 따른 등엔트로피 노즐 효율과 Markov 에너지 손실 계수를 계산하여 Markov 에너지 손실 계수와 등엔트로피 노즐 효율이 선형적 반비례 관계가 있음을 규명하였다.
