EXPERIMENT No. 1
TITLE :
keyed to common shaft and steam pressure or jet volume observed in stages as it
flows over rotor blade. This is known as compounding.
Following are three methods commonly employed for reducing motor
speed.
1) Velocity
2) Pressure
3) Pressure and velocity
a) VELOCITY COMPOUNDING:
In velocity compounding impulse turbine expansion of steam take place in
a nozzle or a set of nozzle from boiler pressure to condenser pressure the impulse
wheel carries 2-3 row of moving blade.
The steam after expanding through nozzle enter 1st ring of moving blade at
high velocity. A portion of this high velocity is observed by blading and
remaining by passed automatically next ring of fixed blade. The curved of
velocity and pressure on a base next ring of fixed blade.
The curved of velocity and pressure on a base reciprocating of turbine are
shown in fig. IT may be noted that no. of pressure drop occur either in moving or
fixed blade. All pressure drops occur in nozzle. This turbine for same pressure
drop and diagram of wheel.
b) PRESSURE COMPOUNDING
The centrifugal governor is driven from main shaft of turbine by turbine belt
or gear arrangement. The control valve control direction of flow of oil enter in pipe
AA or BB servomotor or relay valve has a piston where motor is connected to needle
which move inside the nozzle. The central vertical bar Centrifugal governor caring
down of fly balls wheel also bring down the sleeve. This increase in area of
flow wheel increase of flow system turbine. As a result of turbine wheel comes to its
normal stage flywheel move up now sleeve as well as control valve rod will occupy.
It normal and turbine wheel run at this normal speed.
IT may be noted that when load on turbine decreases it will increases in it
speed as a result. IF this fly ball will go up and sleeve also go up. This will push
control valve rod downward which result in opening mouth of B.B. This under
pressure is more piston of spear to works right which will occupy its normal position
of turbine will run at its normal speed. These are several factor which at the
performance of steam turbine. These entire factors which reduce o/p of turbine are
also known as internal losses.
NOZZLE GOVERNING:
The efficiency of steam turbine is considerably reduced if
throttle governing is carried out at Low loads. An alternative, and
more efficient form of governing is by means of nozzle control. In
this method of governing, the nozzles are grouped together 3 to 5
or more group and supply of steam to each group is controlled by
regulating valves. Under full load conditions the valves conditions
the valves remain fully open.
When load on the turbine becomes more or less than the
design value, the supply of steam to a group of nozzles may be
varied accordingly so as to restore the original speed.
Nozzles control can only be applied to the first stage of a
turbine. It is suitable for simple impulse and larger units which
Department of Mechanical Engineering
BY-PASS GOVERNING:
The steam turbines are designed to work at economic load it
is desirable to have full admission of steam in the high pressure
stages. At the maximum load, which is greater than the economic
load, the additional steam required could not pass through the first
stage since additional nozzle are not available. By-pass regulation
allows for this in a turbine which is throttle governed, by means of
second by-pass valve in the first stage nozzle. Steam is by-pass
through the second valve to a lower stage in the turbine. When bypass operates it is under the control of the turbine governor. The
secondary and tertiary supplies of the steam in the lower stage
increase the work output in these stages, but there is loss
efficiency and a curving of the Willians line.
In reaction turbines, because of the pressure drop required in
the moving blades, nozzles control governing is not possible, and
throttle governing plus by-pass governing, is used.
NOZZLE LOSSES:
IT is important loss in impulse turbine which occurred when steam flow
through nozzle. These losses take places due to friction of S/F of blades. Friction
relatively velocity of system is reduced while gliding over the blades.
MECHANICAL LOSSES:
It is the important loss in both turbine which occur due to friction between
shaft and wheel bearing also regarding the valve. This can be reduced by lubrication
pumps.
WHEEL FRICTION LOSSES:
It can important losses in both turbine which occurs when turbine wheel rotate
in steam. This loss takes places due to resistance offered by steam. Moving turbine
blades wheel.
RESIDUAL VELOCITY LOSSES:
It is a loss on both turbines which occur due to C.E. of system as it leaves
turbine wheel. It can be reduced by using multistage wheel.
MOISTURE LOSSES:
It is the loss in both turbines which take place due to moisture pressure in the
steam. The velocity of water partial is less that in steam.
RADIATION LOSSES:
It is the loss in both the turbine which takes place due to difference in
temperature between turbine and atmosphere.
Discovery of the beneficial effect of lubrication must have forwarded crossed
upon most primitive control it is would have been quickly recognized.

TITLE:
INTRODUCTION:
The working principle of gas turbine is improving version of wind
mill. In order to achieve an efficient working of turbine movement of gas properly
controlled is defected on blade fixed in turbine runner. The air wind pressure is
supplied by an air compressor which runs by turbine itself.
In this turbine compressed air from atmosphere. Is passed to
combustion chamber where it is heated. This air when forced over moving blade
imparts rotational motion at runner. Hence air supplied is expanded and finally to
atmosphere. The power developed by turbine to mainly use for driving compressor
and remaining for doing external work.
CLASSIFCATION:
1) According to path working substance
a) Closed Type Cycle
b) Open Cycle
c) Semi closed cycle
2) According to process at heat combustion
a) Constant pressure gas turbine
b) Constant volume gas turbine
THEORY:
a)
drives generator and compressor and cooling chamber. The air compressor
isentropically pressed into the heating chamber compressed air is heated using
external source and forced over turbine blade where it get expanded. Then in cooling
chamber it is cooled at constant pressure with circulating water to original
temperature and air again forced to compressor. It cools on Joules and Brayton cycle
as shown in fig.
Operation 1-2: The air is compressed isentropically from the lower pressure p 1 to
the upper pressure p2, the temperature rising from T1 to T2, No heat
flow occurs.
Operation 2-3: Heat flow into the system increasing the volume from V 2 to V3. and
temperature from T2 to T3 whilest the pressure remains constant at p2
Heat received = mcp (T3 - T2)
Operation 3-4: The air is expanded isentropically from p 2 to p1 , the temperature
falling from T3 to T4 . No heat flow occurs.
Operation 4-1: Heat is rejected from the system as the volume decreases from V 4 to
V1 and the temperature from T4 to T1 whilst the pressure remains
constant at p1
Heat rejected = mcp (T4 T1)
b)
in which a rotary compressor and a turbine are mounted on a common shaft. Air is
drawn into the compressor and after compression passes to a combustion chamber.
Energy is supplied in the combustion chamber by spraying fuel into the air stream,
and the resulting hot gases expand through the turbine to the atmosphere. In order to
achieve the net work output from the unit, the turbine must develop more gross work
output than is required to drive the compressor and to overcome mechanical losses
in the drive. The products of combustion coming out from the turbine are exhausted
to the atmosphere as they cannot be used any more. The working fluids (air and fuel)
must be replaced continuously as they are exhausted into the atmosphere.
If pressure loss in the combustion chamber is neglected, this cycle may
be drawn on a T-s diagram as shown

REGENERATION:
The exhaust gases from a gas turbine carry a large quantity of
heat with them since their temperature is far above the ambient
temperature. They can be used to heat the air coming from the
compressor thereby reducing the mass of fuel supplied to the
combustion chamber. The corresponding T-s diagram as shown in

INTRODUCTION:
Francis Turbine, named after James Bichens Fransis, is a reaction
type of turbine for medium high to medium low heads and medium small to
medium large quantities of water. The reaction turbine operates with its
wheel submerged in water. The water before entering the turbine has
pressure as well as kinetic energy. The moment on the wheel is produced by
both kinetic and pressure energies. The water leaving the turbine has
still some of the pressure as well as kinetic energy.
THEORY :
Originally the Francis turbine was designed as a purely
radial flow type reaction turbine but modern Francis turbine is a mixed
flow type in which water enters the runner radially inwards towards the
centre and discharges out axially. It operates under medium heads and
requires medium quantity of water.
DESCRIPTION:
The present set-up consists of a runner. The water is fed to the
turbine by means of Centrifugal Pump, radially to the runner. The runner is
directly mounted on one end of a central SS shaft and other end is connected
to a brake arrangement. The circular window of the turbine casing is
provided with a transparent acrylic sheet for observation of flow on to
the runner. This runner assembly is supported. by thick cast iron pedestal.
Department of Mechanical Engineering

INTRODUCTION
Turbines are defined as the hydraulic machine which are able to convert
hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used in running
an electric generator which is directly coupled to the shaft of the turbine. The electric
power which is obtained from the hydraulic energy is known as hydro-electric
power.
CLASSIFICATION OF HYDRAULIC TURBINES:It is classified according to the type of energy available at the inlet of
the turbine, direction of the flow through the valves head at the inlet of the turbine
and specific speed of the turbine.
1. According to the type of energy at inlet
a. Impulse Turbine
b. Reaction Turbine
2. According to the direction of flow through runner
Department of Mechanical Engineering
amount of water striking the runner is reduced. If the spear is pushed back, the
amount of water striking the runner increases.
2. Runner with bucket :
It consist of a circular disc on the periphery of which a runner of
buckets which are evenly spaced are fixed. The shape of the bucket is of a double
hemispherical cup. Each bucket is shaped in such a way that jet gets deflectd
through 160 to 170 0
3. Casing :
The function of the casing is to prevent the splashing of water and to
discharge all water at the tail race.
4. Breaking Jet :When the nozzle is complete closed to push the spear in the forward
direction the amount of water striking the reduces to zero.
To stop the runner in a short time, a small nozzle is provided which
directs the jet of water in the back of the vanes, this jet of water is called as
Breaking Jet
RADIAL FLOW REACTION TURBINE:
These turbines in which water flow into the radial direction. The water
may flow radially from outward to inward called as inward radial turbine as from
inward to outward direction called as outward radial turbine.
Main parts of a Radial Flow Reaction Turbine:
1. Casing
2. Guide mechanism
3. Runner
4. Draft Tube
1. CASING:The water from the penstock enters the casing completely, surrounding
the runner of the turbine such that the water may enter the runner at axial velocity
throughout the circumference of the runner. It is made of concrete plate steel.
2. GUIDE MECHANISM:It consists of a stationary wheel all around the runner of the turbine.
The stationary guides vanes are fixed on the guide vane are fixed on the guide
mechanism. The guide vanes allow the water to strike the vanes fixed on the runner,
without shock at inlet.
3. RUNNER:It is a circular wheel and which radial covered vanes are fixed. The
radial curved vanes are such shaped that the water enters and leaves the runner
without shock. They are keyed to the shaft.
4. DRAFT TUBE:A tube or pipe of gradually increasing area is used. For discharging
water from exit of turbine to the tail race. This tube of increasing area is called the
Draft Tube
FRANCIS TURBINE:The inward flow turbine having radial discharging at outlet is known as
Francis Turbine. In modern Francis, the water enters the runner of the turbine in
the radial direction of outlet and leaves in the axial direction at the inlet of runner.
Thus it is mixed flow turbine.
Department of Mechanical Engineering
AXIAL FLOW REACTION TURBINE:It the water flows parallel to the axis of the rotation of the shaft, the
turbine is known as axial flow turbine and if the head at the inlet and the turbine is
sum of pressure energy and K.E. revolving the flow of water through runner, a part
and pressure energy is converted in K.E. the turbine is known as Reaction Turbine .
For axial flow turbine the shaft is made longer which is known as hub.
1. Parallel Turbine :When the vanes are fixed to the hub they are not adjustable, that are
known as parallel turbine.
2. Kaplan Turbine :When the vanes on the hub are adjustable, the turbine is known as
Kaplan Turbine. It is suitable for larger quality of watch at low heads. It consist of
a hub, adjustable vanes are fixed.

INTRODUCTION
The principal of Jet Propulsion involves imparting momentum to a
mass of fluid in such a manner that the reaction of imparted momentum provides a
propulsive force. It may be achieved by expanding the gas, which is at high
temperature and pressure, through a nozzle due to which a high velocity jet of hot
gases is produced (in the atmosphere) that gives a propulsive force. For jet
propulsion the open cycle gas turbine is most suitable.
The propulsion system may be classified as follows:
1. Air stream jet engines (Air breathing engines)
a. Steady Combustion Systems; Continuous Air Flow
1. Turbo Jet
2. Turbo Prop
3. Ram-Jet
b. intermittent Combustion System ; intermittent Flow
1. Pulse Jet or Flying Bomb
2. Self Contained Rocket Engines (Non-air Breathing Engines)
1. Liquid Propellent
2. Solid Propellent
In air stream jet engines the oxygen necessary for the combustion
is taken from the surrounding atmosphere whereas in a rocket engine the fuel and the
oxidizer are contained in the body of the unit which is to be propelled.
TURBO JET:
It consists of diffuser at the entrance which shows down the air (entering at
velocity equal to plant speed) and the part of K.E. of the air stream is
kinetic energy of the incoming air (equal to aircraft velocity) into pressure energy by
the diffuser. This type of compression is known as ram effect .
RAM-JET:
Ram-jet is also called athodyd, Lorin tube or flying stovepipe. Ram jet
engines have the capability to fly at supersonic speeds.
The ram jet engine consists of a diffuser (used for compression),
combustion chamber, and nozzle.
The air enters the ram jet plant with supersonic speed and is slowed
down to sonic velocity in the supersonic diffuser, consequently the pressure
suddenly increases in the supersonic diffuser to the formation of shock wave. The
pressure of the air is further increased in the subsonic diffuser increasing the
temperature of the air above the ignition temperature.
In the combustion chamber, the fuel is injected through injection
nozzles. The fuel air mixture is then ignited by means of a spark plug and
combustion temperatures of the order of 2000 k are attained. The expansion of gases
towards the diffuser entrance is restricted by pressure barrier at the after end of the
diffuser and as a result the hot gases are constrained to move towards the nozzle and
undergo expansion; the pressure energy is converted into the kinetic energy. The
high velocity gases leaving the nozzle provide forward thrust to the unit.
The best performance of ram jet engine is obtained at flight speed of
1700 km/h to 2000 km/h.
ADVANTAGE OF TURBO-JET ENGINES:The ram-jet engine possesses the following advantage over other types of jet engine
1. No moving parts.
2. Light in weight.
SHORTCOMINGS/ LIMITATIONS:
1. It cannot be started of its own. It has to be accelerated to a certain flight
velocity by some launching device. A ram-jet is always equipped with a small
turbo-jet which starts the ram jet.
2. The fuel consumption is too large at low and moderate speeds.
3. For successful operation, the diffuser needs to be designed carefully so that
kinetic energy associated with high entrance velocities is efficiently converted
into pressure.
4. To obtain steady combustion. Certain elaborate devices in form of flame
holders or pilot flame are required.
PULSE-JET ENGINE:
A pulse-jet engine is an intermittent combustion engine and it operates
on a cycle similar to a reciprocating engine, whereas the turbo-jet and ram-jet
engines are continuous in operation and are based on Brayton cycle. A pulse-jet
engine like an athoyd, develops thrust by a high velocity of jet of exhaust gases
without the aid of compressor or turbine. Its development is primarily due to the
inability of the ram-jet to be self starting.
The incoming air is compressed by ram affecting the diffuser section
and the grid passages which are opened and closed by V-shaped non-return valves.
The fuel is then injected into the combustion chamber by fuel injectors
(worked from the air pressure from the compressed air bottles). The combustion is
then initiated by a spark plug (once the engine is operating normally, the spark is
turned off and the residual flame in the combustion chamber is used for
combustion).
As a result of combustion (of mixture of air and fuel) the temperature
and pressure of combustion products increases. Because the combustion pressure is
higher than the ram pressure, the non-return valves get closed and consequently the
hot gases flows out of the tail pipe with a high velocity and in doing so give a
forward thrust to the unit.
With the escape of gases to the atmosphere, the static pressure in the
chamber falls and the high pressure air in the diffuser force the valves to open and
fresh air is admitted for combustion during a new cycle.
ADVANTAGE:
1. Simple in construction and very inexpensive as compared to turbo-jet engine.
Well adapted to pilotless aircraft.
2. Capable of producing static thrust and thrust in excess of drag at much low
speeds.
SHORTCOMINGS:
1. High intensity of noise
2. Severe vibrations
3. High rate of fuel consumption and low thermodynamics efficiency.
4. Intermittent combustion as compared to continuous combustion in a turbo-jet
engine.
5. The operating altitude is limited by air density consideration.
6. Serious limitation to mechanical valve arrangement
ROCKET ENGINES:
Similar to jet propulsion, the thrust required for rocket propulsion is
produced by the high velocity jet of gases passing through the nozzle. But the main
difference is that in case of jet propulsion the oxygen required for combustion is
taken from the atmosphere and fuel is stored whereas for rocket engine, the fuel and
oxidizer both are contained in a propelling body and as such it can function in
Vaccum.
ii.
ii.
It consist of fuel tank FT, an oxidizer tank O, two pumps P1, P2 , a steam
turbine ST and a combustion chamber C.C. . The fuel tank contains alcohol and
oxidizer tank contains liquid oxygen. The fuel and the oxidizer are supplied by the
pumps to the combustion chamber where the fuel is ignited by electrical means. The
pumps are driven with the help of a stream turbine. Here the stream is produced by
mixing a very concentrated hydrogen peroxide with potassium permanganate. The
products of combustion are discharged from the combustion chamber through the
nozzle N. So the rocket moves in the opposite direction. In some modified form, this
type of rocket may be used in missile
REQUIREMENT OF AN IDEAL ROCKET PROPELLNENT:
An ideal rocket propellent should have the following characteristics/ properties ;
1. High heat value.

TITLE:
INTRODUCTION:
The steam power plant converts the chemical energy of fossil fules
(coal, oil,
raising the steam in the boiler expanding the through the turbine and coupling the
turbine to the generator which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
The steam turbine is a prime mover in which the potential energy of the
steam is transfer to kinetic energy and later in its turn is transferred into the
mechanical energy of rotation of the turbine shaft. The turbine is directly or with the
help of reduction gearing is connection with the driven mechanism a steam turbine
may be utilized in most diverse field of industry for power generation and for
transportation. Transportation of the potential energy of steam into mechanical
energy of the rotation of the shaft is brought about by different means.
WORKING:
The steam turbine plant consists of a water pump to continuous supply
of water into the boiler. The water is pumped by pump into a low pressure heater
after passing it through the heat of waste product of combustion so that water get
slightly heated and then this water is made to pass through the H.P. heater and then
be economiser.
The arrangement is usually taken up in order to heat the water before it
enter the boiler so that in boiler the water will be soon converted into steam and in

temperature. Steam i.e. Supper heated steam is expanded in a steam turbine. The
shaft of turbine is directly coupled to compressor and generator.
As the steam passes through the turbine the pressure gauge increasing
and the steam get expanded. As the steam flows or passes through the steam turbine
the steam turbine rotates and since it is coupled to the generator.
WATER SUPPLY:
The power plant has separate water treatment unit. The water is
supplied from river TAPI water is mainly used for
1. Steam Generation in boiler
2. FOR condensing the steam in steam condenser
It is also used for winding coolers of generates and consumption is 400-465 tons.
MAIN CONCEPT OF POWER PLANT:
Each unit of power plant consists of following plant auxiliary.
a) Coal Handling Plant (C.H.P):
The main function of this plant is to feed coal in turbine of coal milk
when rail round wagons shifted at side. Then there are unloaded with the help of
wagons triples further the big lumps of coal are crush per required size and then it
is fed into bankers into conveyors belts.
b)
Coal Mills:
There are size six coal mills for each boiler of capacity 33 tons coal
from banker is fed to the coal mills through the coal feeders which control the mills
in every minute.
c)
Generators :
It is a device which converts mechanical power into electrical power.
The generator produces electrically of 15.75 kw in 210 M plant and 13.8 KW in 62.5
MW plant with stand frequency 50 HZ. The generator is center make.
d)
Condenser:
Exhaust steam from the turbine at low pressure is entered into the
condenser where it is condensed into water and is supplied back to increase the
efficiency of the system. The condenser used is of surface type.
e)
Cooling Tower:
It is used ot the coal the water which is usual in the condenser to
condensed the exhaust steam from the turbine. As the condenser always required coil
water and due to limitation of natural resources. We have to reverse the water again
and again the hot cooling water is cooled by cooling tower.
f)
Boiler:
It is the heart of the plant contains water tube furnace and duel nozzle and
ignitors. This power plant is tangentially fixed balance draught. There are 100 tubes
which carries water through boiler has refractory lining.
