Improvement of the Turbine Main Stop Valves with Flow Simulation in Erosion by Solid Particle Impact CFD
The flow field in a steam turbine main stop valve bypass valve (MSVBV) has been investigated by means of CFD simulations. Because the entire flow to the turbine during start ups is carried by the MSVBV it is subject to serious solid particle erosion problems and requires frequent replacement to avoi...
