Conceptual Design and Instrumentation Study for a 2-D, Linear, Wet Steam Turbine Cascade Facility

The design of last stage low pressure steam (LP) turbines has become increasingly complicated as turbine manufacturers have pushed for larger and more efficient turbines. The tip sections of these LP turbines encounter condensing wet steam at high velocities resulting in increased losses. These lo...
