Observation and Analysis of Affinity Law Deviations through Tested Performance of Liquefied Gas Reaction Turbines

Liquefied gas reaction turbines are subject to the hydraulic affinity laws. Particularly for liquefied hydrocarbon gas-driven turbines, deviations from the affinity laws are encountered. In the case of reaction turbines, where the geometry is fixed, the affinity law relationships between flow, head,...
