Features: This book provides a detailed introduction to two methods for thermodynamic calculations of steam turbines under varying operating conditions—reverse sequence algorithm and forward sequence algorithm—covering their principles, methods, and steps. It focuses on discussing the working characteristics of two types of single stages, namely regulation stages and pressure stages, as well as the methods for solving their characteristic parameters and characteristic curves and their application issues. The book also covers the thermodynamic calculations of stage groups and the entire unit under varying operating conditions, and explores methods to improve the accuracy of such calculations. It introduces three internationally renowned thermodynamic property models for water and steam, and provides steam approximate formulas and corresponding source programs for computer programs for varying operating condition calculations. This book is suitable for engineering technicians engaged in thermal energy and power, especially steam turbines, in research, design, manufacturing, production operation, and testing, as well as for faculty and students of relevant universities and colleges in thermal energy and power.
