Engineers designing steam and gas turbines are faced
with the need to build various hydraulic networks. These
multi-disciplinary systems include but are not limited to
blade cooling and rotor secondary flows, seals, fuel
supply systems, lubrication systems, hydraulic control
systems, anti-icing pipelines, heat exchangers and much
more.
With this in mind, SoftInWay developed AxSTREAM
NET™. Through the use of this software, engineers
can easily simulate such networks, composing them from a
set of components of varying complexity. AxSTREAM
NET™ is designed to model 1D flows while accounting
for heat transfer through different means. It provides
the users a wide range of hydraulic network components
and fluids (both compressible and incompressible),
enhances flexibility and user experience enabling
creation of custom components and properties through
scripts, and runs calculations at steady-state and
unsteady (transient)-state regimes.
In this webinar, we will discuss the approach to
AxSTREAM NET™ modeling of different systems found
in steam and gas turbines, namely end seal modeling for a
40 MW steam turbine, lubrication system modeling for a
500 MW steam turbine, rotor cooling modeling for a 115 MW
gas turbine and modeling of compressed air cooling in an
intermediate heat exchanger for a 0.5 MW compressor.
The webinar session will include:
- Description of hydraulic networks of steam and gas
turbines and methods of their calculation
- Potential problems and challenges associated with
thermal fluid flow modeling such as leakage flow rates
and pressure drops across various turbomachines and
solutions to meet these challenges
- Presentation of steam and gas turbine system modeled
in AxSTREAM NET™
- Review of the software and demonstration of hydraulic
network modeling in AxSTREAM NET™
Who should attend:
- Engineers, managers, and supervisors who want an
introduction on how to design and analyze thermal-fluid
networks.
- Engineering professionals working with gas and steam
turbine systems.
- Engineering students looking to expand their
knowledge of thermal-fluid flow simulation.
