Record 1 - external organization data 2005-11-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Mechanics (Physics)
  • Turbines
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The tendency of the turbine is to slow down as counter torque is increased which would decrease the frequency. To compensate for the increased counter torque more steam is admitted to the turbine to produce more shaft mechanical power and to maintain the generator speed.

  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

En réaction à l'augmentation du couple antagoniste, la turbine devrait décélérer, ce qui devrait réduire la fréquence. Pour compenser l'augmentation du couple antagoniste, on admet plus de vapeur dans la turbine, ce qui se traduit par une puissance mécanique supérieure de l'arbre et permet donc de maintenir la vitesse de rotation du générateur.
