3D MODELING AND DYNAMIC CHARECTARIZATION OF STEAM TURBINE PACKET BLADE AND CYCLIC SYMMETRIC ANALYSIS

Abstract: A rotating turbine blade (bucket) is the component, which converts the kinetic energy of the flowing fluid into mechanical energy. Thus the reliability of these blades is very important for the successful operation of a turbine. Turbine blades experience fluctuating forces when they pass through non-uniform fluid flow from the stationary vanes. The basic design consideration is to avoid or to minimize the dynamic stresses produced by the fluctuating forces. The aim of the project is to estimate the stresses occurring in the packet blade of steam turbine in last stage due to centrifugal forces and steam bending forces. The blade, root and disc are modeled separately in ANSYS package and they are assembled using constrained equations. After giving the constrain equations cyclic symmetric analysis conditions are applied and then static and model analysis are carried out. After that Campbell and safe diagrams are plotted.
