Experimental and Numerical Assessment of the Heat Transfer Coeficients for Industrial Steam Turbine for Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery

The subject of this diploma thesis is experimental and numerical assessment of the heat transfer coefficients during condensation of water steam in simplified parts of an industrial steam turbine. This simplified part is a pipe with circular cross section, which is often used in simulations of processes inside the steam turbine. The first part of thesis describes theoretical basics of heat transfer during conduction, convection and condensation. The content of other chapters is description of methods used to determine heat transfer coefficient. These are: ex-perimental analysis performed on a measuring device and evaluated using finite element ana-lysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics analysis (CFD) in ANSYS CFX and analytical calculations of heat transfer coefficients using mathematical models for condensation. Thesis is concluded by validation and comparison of obtained results
