TL;DR: The International Wet Steam Modeling Project (WSP) as mentioned in this paper reviewed the ability of computational methods to predict condensing steam flows, and the results of numerous wet-steam methods are comp...

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental investigations of steam flow with condensation in the blading system of the low-pressure (LP) part of a 360 MW turbine were presented, which provided flow visualization opportunities including localization of the front of condensation, determining distributions of pressure, temperature, velocity, and flow angle in the inter-row gaps, measurements of water droplet concentration and sizes.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical exploration of the possibility of utilizing aqueous solutions of three salts (lithium bromide, lithium chloride and calcium chloride), known mainly from absorption cooling, as working fluids for APCs is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a computational analysis of the wet steam energy loss occurring in a 210MW fossil-fired and a 1000MW nuclear LP steam turbine, which operate under considerably different conditions as regards pressure level in the droplet nucleation zone, exit moisture level and droplet size spectra determined from optical extinction measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical model with two different leakages, namely the lumped leakage area between inlet and outlet and leakage between working chambers due to delayed contact of vane and stator, is presented.
