title = "Flow characteristics analysis of control valve for turbine system",
abstract = "A computational and experimental study is presented for analyzing the flow characteristics of a control valve for a turbine system. The electric output from a generator system coupled with a turbine system is proportional to the regulated mass flow rate though the control valve to the turbine. The control valve regulating the mass flow rate to turbine should operate linearly. The actual control valve has the various flow characteristic pursuant to the stem lift, however. Thus, the flow characteristics and control performance are needed to be designed precisely by the valve manufacturer. In this study, the compressed air is used as the working fluid and LabVIEW is employed for real time data acquisition. CATIA V.5{\textregistered} and ANSYS CFX are used for three-dimensional computer-aided design and computational fluid dynamics analysis, respectively. VELO is used to experimentally study the flow characteristics of control valve. Flow characteristic curves are plotted by calculating the ratio of the measured mass flow rate versus the theoretical mass flow rate of the air. The flow characteristic curves are utilized to accurately test the performance of the control valve of turbine system to ensure the highest controllability and reliability of the power conversion system of large and small power plants.",
