Abstract
Experimental investigations of non-equilibrium spontaneous condensation in transonic steam flows in a linear blade cascade were carried out. The cascade consists of the rotor blades of the low-pressure (LP) steam turbine last stage. The experimental testing facility is a part of a small-scale steam power plant located at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice. The steam parameters at the testing facility inlet correspond to the wet steam conditions in a low-pressure steam turbine. Static pressure measurements on the blade surface as well as Schlieren images were used to assess the flow field in the steam turbine rotor tip blade linear cascade for different flow conditions. The experimental results were used to validate an in-house CFD code.
