Computer Controlled Experimental Reaction Turbine- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL POSSIBILITIES
Some Practical Possibilities of the Unit:
1.-Visual examination of a small reaction turbine.
2.-Production of torque/speed and power/speed curves.
3.-Evaluation of specific air consumption at a range of speeds and pressures.
4.-Application of the First Law to a simple open system undergoing a steady flow pressure.
5.-Determination
of the isentropic efficiency of a reaction turbine and plotting the end
states on a temperature/entropy diagram.
6.-Construction of
retardation curve and the determination of resisting torques due to
bearing friction, disc friction and windage, at different speeds.
7.-Obtaining
the inlet pressure effect on the outlet power and effectiveness of the
turbine, as well as torque, speed and power curves.
Other possible practices:
8.-Sensors calibration.
Practices to be done by PLC Module (PLC-PI)+PLC Control Software:
9.-Control of the HTRC unit process through the control interface box without computer.
10.-Visualization of all the sensors values used in HTRC unit process.
11.-Calibration of all sensors included in HTRC unit process.
