Introduction The steam turbine converts stored energy of high pressure and high temperature steam into rotary energy, which in turn is converted into electrical energy by the generator. Each turbine section consists of a set of a moving blades attached to rotor and a set of stationary vanes in which steam is accelerated to high velocity. The kinetic energy of the high velocity steam is converted into shaft torque. A large variety of steam turbines have been built, with respect to the capacity, application and desired performance. To increase the thermal efficiency in applications, steam turbines consist of multistage steam expansion. 3

Mathematical Modelling Of Steam Turbine Unit In many cases, the steam turbine models are simplified, many intermediate variables are omitted. The transfer function of a steam turbine and the expression for mechanical power developed by a turbine are based on the continuity equation. Where, W = weight of steam in the turbine (kg) 7
