Multivariate Gaussian Process Incorporated Predictive Model for Stream Turbine Power Plant [PDF]
Steam power turbine-based power plant approximately contributes 90% of the total electricity produced in the United States. Mainly steam turbine consists of multiple types of turbine, boiler, attemperator, reheater, etc. Power is produced through the steam with high pressure and temperature that is conducted by the turbines.

Considering the importance of the subject, here, a PV hybrid system with a concentrator and an ORC is evaluated from a technical and economic point of view. First, system modelling methods and relationships governing system components are examined. In this regard, the first and second laws of thermodynamics are very important. Constants and assumptions

Steam turbine flow path drainage system under different operating conditions [PDF]
One of the important elements of anti-erosion protection of the steam turbine last blades is the use of hollow stator blades. There are grooves on the blade surface that lead the steam mixture inside the blades. This mixture is blown to the diffuser area.

The influence of various optimization algorithms on nuclear power plant steam turbine exergy efficiency and destruction [PDF]
This paper presents an exergy analysis of the whole turbine, turbine cylinders and cylinder parts in four different operating regimes. Analyzed turbine operates in nuclear power plant while three of four operating regimes are obtained by using optimization algorithms - SA (Simplex Algorithm), GA (Genetic Algorithm) and IGSA (Improved Genetic-Simplex ...

Steam Degradation of Ytterbium Disilicate Environmental Barrier Coatings: Effect of Composition, Microstructure and Temperature [PDF]
Recession of environmental barrier coatings (EBC) in environments containing steam is a pressing concern that requires further research before their implementation in gas turbine engines can be realized. In this work, free-standing plasma sprayed Yb2Si2O7 coatings were exposed to flowing steam at 1350 {\deg}C and 1400 {\deg}C for 96 h.
