Turbine
(OP)
Hi forum members,
In the case of a back pressure turbine, the output depends on the delta P between the inlet pressure and the exhaust pressure.What factors determine the efficiency of the turbine particularly on the exhaust side? I am on a site where the steam demand on a turbine has increased but the power output is significantly the same.
Thanks.

RE: Turbine
Is the temperature of the exhaust steam the same as before or higher (I would expect higher based on what you said.)
If all the above is the same, then I would look for internal mechanical problems, blade wear, stationary parts (diaphrams), nozzles, blade tip seals, etc.
