Calculation Method of Moisture Flow Discharge Coefficient in Steam Turbines

Calculation Submarine Hydrodynamic Coefficient by Hybrid Method

Increase in the accuracy of hydrodynamic coefficient calculation cause to increase in the prediction of vessel maneuvering ability. Different methods of determining hydrodynamic coefficients will be effective in determining the accuracy of coefficients, especially in numerical simulation. In this paper, we do planar motion mechanism (PMM) test, oblique towing test, and rotating arm test simulat...

Avoiding Stressed-Out Steam Turbines

assembly, Pro/ENGINEER CAD geometry was imported into ANSYS Mechanical software and meshed using SOLID185 elements. Frictionless surface-tosurface contact pairs with augmented Lagrangian algorithms were created between mating surfaces. A matching node pattern was maintained at the root and slot pressure faces, where load transfers take place between the two components. As an in-house design pra...

Effect of Deflector and Aeration On the Discharge Coefficient of Submerged Flow of Morning Glory Spillways

Spillways are responsible for draining floods in dams. However, morning glory spillways are considered as free spillway type. In floods, a submerged flow is formed in their crest. This factor leads to severe pressure fluctuations in the shaft, suction and vibration of the structure and also reduces the spillway efficiency. Insufficient knowledge of the hydraulics of the submerged flow will be a...

ِِDischarge Coefficient in Oblique Side Weirs

Side weirs are flow diversion devices that are widely used in irrigation, drainage and urban sewage systems. The present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of oblique side weirs on the discharge coefficient of a side weir under subcritical flow condition in rectangular channels. In this study 106 laboratory tests were conducted and the results were analyzed to find out the influen...
