Experimental Study of the Features of the Motion of Liquid-Phase Particles in the Interblade Channel of the Nozzle Array of a Steam Turbine.

The first results from a study of the motion of liquid-phase particles in the interblade channel of an isolated nozzle array of a steam turbine are reported. Some features of the formation of secondary droplets produced by the interaction of primary moisture with the blade walls are examined. The influence of the moisture content of the main flow on the formation of the steam-droplet layer near the convex blade surface is established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
