As a high-speed rotating part, forced convection of the surface of rotor is high-intensity when steam turbine is running. The thermal state of the rotor directly affects the distribution of the stress and vibration characteristics. In order to effectively monitor and control the thermal state of the rotor, heat transfer coefficient must be quickly and accurately calculated. Typically, different manufacturers select different empirical formulas and the calculated values vary greatly. Combining with empirical formulas, the accuracy of steam turbine rotor surface heat transfer coefficient is improved, so that the results become closer to the numerical calculation values, then also result in analyzing the thermal state of rotor more precisely. Taking a certain 300MW turbine rotor as an application, the heat transfer coefficients of rotor are analyzed and calculated. And the improved method can be also applied in a 600MW steam turbine rotor.

This paper provides an extension of the previously described [1] formulation of a one-dimensional model for steady, compressible flow inside a channel, to the steam turbine application. The major challenge faced in the network simulation of the steam turbine secondary system is the prediction of the condensation that occurs during the engine start-up on the cold parts that are below the saturation temperature. Neglecting condensation effects may result in large errors in the engine temperatures since they are calculated based on the boundary conditions (heat transfer coefficient and bulk temperature) which depend on the solution of the network analysis. This paper provides a detailed formulation of a one-dimensional model for steady, compressible flow inside a channel which is based on the solution of two equations for a coupled system of mass, momentum and energy equations with wall condensation. The model also accounts for channel area variation, inclination with respect to the engine axis, rotation, wall friction and external heating. The formulation was first validated against existing 1D correlation for an idealized case. The wall condensation is modeled using the best-suited film condensation models for pressure and heat transfer coefficient available in the literature and has been validated against the experimental data with satisfactory predictions.

Thermal stress failure caused by alternating operational loads is the one of important damage mechanisms in the nuclear power plants. To evaluate the thermal stress responses, the Green’s function approach has been generally used. In this paper, a method to consider varying heat transfer coefficients when using the Green’s function method is proposed by using artificial parameter method and superposition principle. Time dependent heat transfer coefficient has been treated by using a modified fluid temperature and a constant heat transfer coefficient. Three-dimensional temperature and stress analyses reflecting entire geometry and heat transfer properties are required to obtain accurate results. An efficient and accurate method is confirmed by comparing its result with corresponding 3D finite element analysis results for a reactor pressure vessel (RPV). From the results, it is found that the temperature dependent material properties and varying heat transfer coefficients can significantly affect the peak stresses and the proposed method can reduce computational efforts with satisfactory accuracy.
