Troyanovsky – Steam and gas turbines of nuclear power plants
Troyanovsky’s book, “Steam and Gas Turbines of Nuclear Power Plants,” examines NPP thermal cycles, the fundamentals of turbine gas dynamics, and the theory of thermal processes in turbines, including operation under variable conditions. Turbine designs, circuits, and automatic control systems are described. Emphasis is placed on saturated steam turbines used in NPPs with water-cooled reactors. Auxiliary equipment for turbine installations is also described.
Troyanovsky’s book, “Steam and Gas Turbines of Nuclear Power Plants,” also examines startup and shutdown processes, as well as selecting the optimal operating mode.
This material on steam and gas turbines will be of interest to university students majoring in “Nuclear Power Plants and Installations.“
The course “Steam and Gas Turbines of Nuclear Power Plants” is taught to students majoring in “Nuclear Power Plants and Installations.”
At some universities, this course has a different title, such as “Nuclear Power Plant Turbines.” This textbook is dedicated to the study of this discipline, the completion of a course project on steam turbines, and the “Nuclear Power Plant” section of the diploma project.
Existing textbooks on steam and gas turbines and steam turbine plants typically devote relatively little space to the features of turbines and turbine plants at nuclear power plants, their designs, diagrams, and calculation methods. This textbook, however, primarily examines wet steam turbines currently used in nuclear power.
Troyanovsky’s book, “Steam and Gas Turbines of Nuclear Power Plants,” presents material on steam turbines used at nuclear power plants with fast neutron reactors and gas (helium) turbines, although not in such detail.
In analyzing a number of issues, primarily those related to the thermal cycle, the overall hydraulic power plant, and its auxiliary equipment, the book’s material echoes the corresponding sections of the general course textbook “Nuclear Power Plants” [19], which is typically taught to students after the course “Steam and Gas Turbines of Nuclear Power Plants.” Omitting these topics from this book would undermine the integrity of the presentation.
Troyanovsky’s book “Steam and Gas Turbines of Nuclear Power Plants” is intended for senior students at higher education institutions majoring in “Nuclear Power Plants and Installations” and can be useful for completing coursework and diploma projects.
To enhance the understanding of the theoretical material and develop skills for its practical application, a number of examples are provided, including a detailed calculation of a 1 million kW saturated steam turbine. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic disciplines or some of their sections—thermodynamics, heat transfer principles, theoretical mechanics, fluid and gas mechanics (or fluid dynamics), strength of materials, and so on.
