Download or read book Operator s Guide to General Purpose Steam Turbines written by Robert X. Perez and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When installed and operated properly, general purpose steam turbines are reliable and tend to be forgotten, i.e., out of sound and out of mind. But, they can be sleeping giants that can result in major headaches if ignored. Three real steam turbine undesirable consequences that immediately come to mind are: Injury and secondary damage due to an overspeed failure. An overspeed failure on a big steam or gas turbine is one of the most frightening of industrial accidents. The high cost of an extensive overhaul due to an undetected component failure. A major steam turbine repair can cost ten or more times that of a garden variety centrifugal pump repair. Costly production loses due an extended outage if the driven pump or compressor train is unspared. The value of lost production can quickly exceed repair costs. A major goal of this book is to provide readers with detailed operating procedure aimed at reducing these risks to minimal levels. Start-ups are complicated by the fact that operators must deal with numerous start-up scenarios, such as: Commissioning a newly installed steam turbine Starting ups after a major steam turbine repair Starting up a proven steam turbine after an outage Overspeed trip testing It is not enough to simply have a set of procedures in the control room for reference. To be effective, operating procedures must be clearly written down, taught, and practiced—until they become habit.

This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the steam turbine is a relatively new development in steam power-plant practice, it is already of great importance. Its adoption has, because of its economic superiority for many conditions, been very rapid. Today, turbines of different capacities ranging from 1 hp. up to 80,000 hp. are being effectively utilized for power generation. The number of turbines in use will soon exceed-if it does not already exceed-the number of reciprocating steam engines. It follows that all successful power-plant men must now be informed concerning these machines. Steam-tuebine Principles and Practice has been prepared, for the ''practical" man, to furnish this information. It has been written to provide the operating engineer, the plant superintendent, or manager with such steam-turbine information as he requires in his everyday work. The aim has been to treat only topics of two general classes: (1) Those with which a man must he familiar to insure the successful and economical operation of steam turbines.(2) Those a knowledge of which is necessary to enable a man - one who is not familiar with the details of its design or theory - to make a wise choice if he contemplates the purchase of a turbine. Only sufficient theory is given to insure a sound understanding of the principles of turbine operation. The ''design" of turbines is not treated at all. A working knowledge of arithmetic will enable one to read the book intelligently...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam-Turbine Principles and Practice Steam-turbine principles and practice has been pre pared, for the practical man, to furnish this information. It has been written to provide the operating engineer, the plant superintendent, or manager with such steam-turbine information as he requires in his everyday work. The aim has been to treat only topics of two general classes: (1) Those with which a man must be familiar to insure the successful and economical Operation of steam turbines. (2) Those a knowledge of which is necessary to enable a man - one who is not familiar with the details of its design or theory - to make a wise choice if he contemplates the purchase of a turbine. Only sufficient theory is given to insure a sound understanding of the principles Of turbine operation. The design of turbines is not treated at all. A working knowledge Of arithmetic will enable one to read the book intelligently. Drawings for nearly all Of the 282 illustrations were made especially for this work. It has been the endeavor to so design and render these pictures that they will convey the desired information with a minimum Of supplementary discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly updated and expanded edition that combines theory and applications of turbomachinery while covering several different types of turbomachinery In mechanical engineering, turbomachinery describes machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid, including turbines, compressors, and pumps. Aiming for a unified treatment of the subject matter, with consistent notation and concepts, this new edition of a highly popular book provides all new information on turbomachinery, and includes 50% more exercises than the previous edition. It allows readers to easily move from a study of the most successful textbooks on thermodynamics and fluid dynamics to the subject of turbomachinery. The book also builds concepts systematically as progress is made through each chapter so that the user can progress at their own pace. Principles of Turbomachinery, 2nd Edition provides comprehensive coverage of everything readers need to know, including chapters on: thermodynamics, compressible flow, and principles of turbomachinery analysis. The book also looks at steam turbines, axial turbines, axial compressors, centrifugal compressors and pumps, radial inflow turbines, hydraulic turbines, hydraulic transmission of power, and wind turbines. New chapters on droplet laden flows of steam and oblique shocks help make this an incredibly current and well-rounded resource for students and practicing engineers. Includes 50% more exercises than the previous edition Uses MATLAB or GNU/OCTAVE for all the examples and exercises for which computer calculations are needed, including those for steam Allows for a smooth transition from the study of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer to the subject of turbomachinery for students and professionals Organizes content so that more difficult material is left to the later sections of each chapter, allowing instructors to customize and tailor their courses for their students Principles of Turbomachinery is an excellent book for students and professionals in mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering.
