A theoretical model of a steam turbine is formulated based on idealized Curtis and reaction stages to obtain expressions for a stage-by-stage evaluation of the turbine state line. Using typical stage geometries and corrections a computer program was developed to size the turbine and evaluate its state line at design conditions. A comparison of the heat balance made with the stage-by-stage state line and the standard heat balance is presented. For the design case of 30 000 shp it is shown that the differences in the heat balance calculation results are within ±0.5 percent.

Numerical prediction and experimental verification of the temperature rise for a single-phase and a three-phase gas-insulated bus bar with current flow are investigated. Various heat generation rates possibly produced in the gas-insulated bus bar are calculated. To estimate the power loss caused by eddy current, the magnetic field analysis is carried out. The heat balance calculation solving the differential form of an energy balance equation with empirical relations is conducted by using the 5th order Runge-Kutta method. The various cases representing different geometries and current values are investigated by conducting the heat balance calculation. Three-dimensional numerical flow field analysis using finite volume method is performed for the different type of the bus bars. From the flow field analysis based on laminar natural convection, the temperature gradient in the current flowing direction caused by contact heat source is found for both single-phase and three-phase bus bars. In the experiments, temperature rises in each of conductor, contact part, and external tank are measured for a full-scale gas-insulated bus bar. The comparisons of the predicted values of the heat balance calculation and the numerical analyses to results of the experiments are made. From the comparisons, it is concluded that the temperature rise of a bus bar can be predicted quite well by performing laminar natural convection flow analyses.

Using the self-programming procedure for the processing calculation, the proper coke quantity and a complete set of calculation data for the process of smelting reduction in a converter are obtained, including the batch calculation, the material balance and heat balance calculations. The calculation results show that the increase of PCR can decrease the quantity of coke and actual oxygen consumption considerably, and improve the thermal efficiency of smelting reduction converter. For producing 18 wt% Cr stainless steel crude melts, comparing with the process of electric arc furnace, the process of smelting reduction in a converter can reduce the production cost greatly. The use of the recycled metal containing chromium can shorten blowing time and improve the yield of chromium.

For describing and resolving the process of chromium ore smelting reduction preferably, the research status on the thermodynamics and kinetics of chromium ore smelting reduction process was summarized, based on the introduction of the process for smelting stainless steel with hot metal in a converter. The existing problems for smelting stainless steel by chromium ore smelting reduction in a converter were also discussed and some suggestions were made for the future work. A lot of investigations about the thermodynamics and the reduction mechanisms of chromium ore have been done. However, the consistent view about the thermodynamic feasibility and the mechanism of smelting reduction has not been achieved, so the application of research results is limited. Little work about the reaction kinetic model for the production of stainless steel by chromium ore smelting reduction and direct alloying has been done. So the synthetic kinetic model including a dissolution model and a reduction model of chromium ore should be built to predict and control accurately the process.

The article considers the results of research conducted during electric contact heating of rye-wheat dough pieces. It is established that the electrical conductivity of the crumb dough does not depend on the total humidity of the material, but mainly on the amount of free moisture. Using the current and temperature graphs, you can imagine how free moisture changes during the baking process and the influence of the thermophysical and colloidal process on the change in the value of free moisture. Experimentally determined the amount of heat that is spent on baking 1 kg of bread. The accuracy of the theoretical calculation of this parameter in the heat balance of the baking chamber is confirmed.
