A steam turbine is one of propulsion systems of a LNG carrier, which consists of high pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) turbines. In order to obtain high power, each one has the form of a multi-stage turbine. Especially, the first stage of a HP turbine is Curtis stage and uses partial admission considering the turbine efficiency. The performance of a HP turbine can be predicted by a mean-line analysis method, because the relatively large value of hub-tip ratio makes the three-dimensional losses small. In this study, a performance analysis method is developed for a multi-stage HP turbine using Chen's loss model developed for the transonic steam turbines. To consider the feature of partial admission, different partial admission models are reviewed, This analysis method can be used in partial load conditions as well as full load condition. The calculation results are also compared with the CFD results about some simple cases to check the accuracy of the program. Performance of two HP turbine models are calculated, and the calculation results are compared with the designed data. The comparison shows the qualitative performance analysis result.

Performance improvement of Small hydro turbine is a very important subject to solve in the stage of introduction and development of the turbine. Cross-flow hydro turbine should be also studied more in detail for the turbine performance in order to extend the sites of application. In order to improve the turbine performance, the effect of the turbine shape on the turbine performance should be examined. Therefore, the effect of runner blade number on the turbine performance is investigated by use of a commercial CFD code. The results show that runner blade number gives remarkable effect on the efficiency and output power of the turbine. Pressure on the surface of the runner blade changes considerably by the blade number at Stage 1, but relatively small change of velocity distribution occurs in the flow passage.

본 연구에 적용된 터빈은 2단으로 구성되며, 첫 번째 단에는 축류형 터빈이 적용되고 두 번째 단에는 반경류형 터빈이 적용되었다. 축류형 터빈에서 동익의 평균반경은 70mm 이며, 반경류형 터빈의 외경은 입구에서 68mm였다. 실험에서 반경류형 터빈의 경우에는 두 개의 다른 형태가 적용되었으며, 최적의 설계변수를 확인하기 위하여 노즐의 각도를 3가지로 변경하면서 실험을 수행하였다. 터빈의 형상에 따른 성능평가를 위하여 총비토오크를 기준으로 비교하였다. 실험의 결과에서 낮은 부분분사에서 작동하면서 고토오크를 얻기 위한 소형터빈의 성능에는 노즐 각도가 가장 중요한 설계변수임을 보여주었다. 부분분사율이 3.4%이면서 노즐의 분사각도가 $75^{\circ}$인 경우에 두 번째 단에 반경류형 터빈을 장착하였을 때 총비토오크는 13%향상하는 결과를 보여주었다.

The steam turbine efficiency is an important factor in power plant. Accurate evaluation of steam turbine performance is essential. However, it is not easy to evaluate the steam turbine performance due to its high temperature and high pressure circumstance. Therefore most steam turbine performance tests were conducted by air similarity test. This paper described a test program for air similarity test of steam turbine at Korea Aerospace Research Institute. A test facility has been designed and built to evaluate aerodynamic performance of turbines. The test facility consists of air supply system, single stage test section, power absorption system, instrumentation and auxiliary system. For evaluation of steam turbine performance, the test of single stage axial turbine air similarity performance was conducted and uncertainty analysis was performed.

Counter Rotating Turbine (CRT) is an axial turbine with a nozzle followed by a rotor and another rotor that rotates in the opposite direction of the first one. Axial spacing between blade rows plays major role in its performance. Present work involves computationally studying the performance and flow field of CRT with axial spacing of 10, 30 and 70% for different mass flow rates. The turbine components are modeled for all the three spacing. Velocity, pressure, entropy and Mach number distributions across turbine stage are analyzed. Effect of spacing on losses and performance in case of stage, Rotor1 and Rotor2 are elaborated. Results confirm that an optimum axial spacing between turbine components can be obtained for the improved performance of CRT.

유선곡률해석법은 다단 축류 터빈의 설계과정에서 필수적으로 이용되며, 실제 작동환경에서 발생하는 손실을 설계 단계에서 미리 반영할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 이와 관련한 국내 독자 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 다단 축류 터빈에서의 누설 유동에 따른 성능해석을 위해 유선곡률해석법과 유동 혼합에 따른 손실 예측 모델을 적용하였다. 국내 운전 중인 86 MW급 발전용 가스터빈의 5단 축류터빈에 대해 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 적용하여 성능해석을 수행하였다. 계산된 결과는 3차원 전산해석 결과와 비교하였으며, 유선곡률해석법이 가지는 장점과 한계에 대해 기술하였다.

In this work, an aerothermodynamic calculation model for cooled axial flow turbine blades with trailing edge ejection is suggested and a mean line performance analysis of a turbine stage with nozzle cooling is carried out. A unique model regarding the interaction between coolant and main gas is proposed, while existing correlations are adopted to predict viscous loss and blade outflow angle. The interactions considered are the heat transfer from main gas to coolant and the temperature and pressure losses by the mixing of two streams due to the trailing edge coolant ejection. For a stator blade without ejection, trailing edge loss calculated by the trailing edge analysis is compared with that calculated by loss correlation. The effect of heat transfer effectiveness of coolant passage on the mixing loss is analyzed. For a model turbine stage with nozzle cooling, parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the effect of main design variables(coolant mass flow ratio, temperature and ejection area) on the stage performance.

The reliability of blade root fixing section is required to endure the centrifugal force and vibration stress for the last stage blade of steam turbine in thermal power plant. Most of the domestic steam turbine last stage blades have finger type roots. The finger type blade is very complex, so the inspection had been performed only on the exposed fixing pin cross-section area due to the difficulty of inspection. But the centrifugal force and vibration stress are also applied at the blade root finger and the crack generates, so the inspection method for finger section is necessary. For the inspection of root finger, inspection points were decided by simulating ultra-sonic path with 3D modeling, curve-shape probe and fixing jig were invented, and the characteristics analysis method of ultrasonic reflection signal and defect signal disposition method were invented. This invented method was actually executed at site and prevented the blade liberation failure by detecting the cracks at the fingers. Also, the same type blades of the other turbines were inspected periodically and the reliability of the turbine increased.
