ABSTRACT

Turbines are those devices which are used to convert the pressure energy of the steam
into mechanical energy either by impulse or reaction action of the steam on the blades of the
turbine. Waste Heat Recovery Plants are developed to utilize the heat energy wasted in the plant
to generate some amount of electrical energy. So that the coal consumption can be reduced to
some extent.
To understand about turbines, a detailed study on the various components of the turbines
is to be done. This study imparts knowledge on the design aspects of the turbine components,
materials to be used, and other design considerations to be taken care off. Such a study helps to
design the turbine according to our requirement. This helps to get the maximum efficiency of the
turbine and thereby can have reduction in cost
The analysis of the turbine is necessary so as to determine the maximum load, the turbine
can withstand without failure. Additional knowledge on the response of the turbine under various
operating load can also be obtained.
This project deals with design of steam turbine which works on the steam generated by
the boiler whose inlet temperature is around 500 oC. Analysis of the turbine also will be done in
order the get the response of the turbine under various operating conditions.
