1. Steam Turbine Line Design Calculations:


1.1 HP steam line thickness calculation from boiler outlet to turbine inlet:
Steam line from Power boiler outlet to the turbine inlet is a High pressure critical line, for which thickness calculations are required to be dons as ASME B31.1, calculation sheet is given below.
Pipe size Working Pressure 1.0Pipe Material= 2.0Type/Class of Pipe= 3.0Operating Temperature=495 deg c 4.0O.D. of Pipe( D )= 5.0Schdule of pipe selected= 6.0Designated Thickness as per Sch.No. less 12.5 % thickness mill under tolerance DESIGN DATA: *Min.Tensile strength at room Temp(R).= Therefore,R/2.7 *Yield Point(Et) = Et/R20 ratio at 500 deg c Et Therefore,Et/1.5 Formula: allowable working Pr.

2. Process steam pressure drop calculations:


Pressure drop and line sizing is done for two options viz. 1)Single extraction turbine, and 2)Extraction cum back pressure turbine. Pressure drop calculations for the external lines would vary for each of the case whereas pressure drop for internal lines will remain the same. Therefore Calculations are worked out separately for external lines and internal lines i.e. MP and LP steam lines from turbine house to process block, and Steam distribution from process headers to individual equipment which are the internal lines.

2.1 Pressure drop calculations for external lines


Option 1: Below given is the pressure drop calculation for external lines and internal lines considering Extraction cum back pressure turbine with extraction at 10.5barg and backpressure at 4.5barg pressures. a.
