Brodov, Savelyev — Steam Turbine Condensing Units
The book *Steam Turbine Condensing Plants* by Brodov and Savelyev examines the theoretical principles of heat transfer in steam turbine condensers. It outlines methodologies for the thermal, hydrodynamic, and structural analysis of condensers. The text covers design, manufacturing, installation, and operational fundamentals, while also detailing the designs, specifications, and operating conditions of the pumps used in these systems. Furthermore, it discusses future prospects for the development and improvement of condensing plants.
This book*Steam Turbine Condensing Plants* by Brodov is intended for university students specializing in power machinery engineering and thermal power engineering—specifically in fields such as “Turbine Engineering,” “Thermal Power Plants,” and “Nuclear Power Plants and Installations.”
In preparing this textbook *Steam Turbine Condensing Plants* by Brodov , the authors drew upon the experience and methodological approaches—regarding material structuring and presentation—found in earlier works on steam turbine condensing plants by authors such as V. P. Blyudov, S. S. Berman, I. N. Kirsanov, and others.
The authors have endeavored to present a modern, systematic overview of thermal and hydrodynamic condenser calculations, condenser designs from various turbine manufacturers, and the fundamentals of plant operation, as well as a range of promising developments aimed at improving condensing plants overall. In preparing this text, the authors proceeded from the premise that the manual serves, to a certain extent, as supplementary material for students studying specific sections of disciplines or particular topics within various specialized courses.
Regarding a number of fundamental issues, the authors have presented diverse expert viewpoints on calculation methodologies, design solutions, efficiency enhancement techniques, promising new developments, and more.
In writing the book, the authors drew extensively on contemporary scientific and technical literature concerning thermal and nuclear power plants, steam turbines, and steam turbine units. They also utilized specific materials from turbine manufacturing plants and research findings regarding various components of condensing systems—work conducted at research institutes (such as NPO CKTI, VTI, ITF SB RAS, etc.), JSC ORGRES, and university departments across the country.
The structure of the manual *Steam Turbine Condensing Systems* (by Brodov and Savelyev) aligns fully with the standard curricula for courses such as “Steam and Gas Turbine Units,” “NPP Turbines and Pumps,” and “TPP and NPP Turbines,” and it builds upon knowledge from disciplines including Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, and Strength of Materials. Students can use the manual for course projects, graduation theses, and industrial internships. To facilitate the mastery of theoretical material and the acquisition of practical skills, the book includes a series of examples involving thermal and hydrodynamic calculations. Review questions are provided at the end of each section for self-assessment.
The bibliography *Steam Turbine Condensing Plants* by Brodov lists only those sources essential for readers wishing to explore specific topics in greater depth. The authors are grateful to the staff of TMZ, LMZ, KhTZ, KTZ, and NPO CKTI for their assistance in obtaining the necessary materials and for their input on specific sections of the book.
