Experimental study for the performance of new conceptual micro multistage steam turbine

Abstract

Steam turbine is a device that converting from thermal energy to rotational dynamics energy, and widely used for various industrial fields. Many researchers had carried out for a miniaturization of distributed electrical generation system to solve the energy problems. This study showed possibility to apply to a miniaturization of distributed electrical generation system through experimental study of new conceptual micro multistage steam turbine. Also, this study presented the calculation of theoretical turbine power, and performed to measure an electrical power, turbine efficiency, and generation efficiency by experimental investigation. The development of this micro multistage steam turbine is also expects to get a distributed electricity generation system miniaturization and high economics in the business.
