Numerical Simulation of the Last Stage in the Nuclear Half-Speed Turbine

Abstract

Wetness is one of the important parameters of the relationship with the turbine operating efficiency and safety. Wetness is determined by the number of small water droplets in the steam, and the nucleation rate on the formation of small droplets has a direct relationship.The nucleation rate is difficult to through experiments measured. This article through numerical simulation obtained the distribution of the nucleation rate and supercooling degree.
