ABSTRACT
The main aim of the work presented in this thesis is to investigate the water particle
deposition in the last stage of low-pressure steam turbine. This water particle will
caused the erosion in the system which will lead to the steam turbine failure. The first
step of this work was to validate a condesing flow study by comparing the simulated
result with the cited paper. Once the simulated result shows a good agreement, the next
work on the investigation of water droplet erosion takes place. In this part of work, the
water droplet behaviour will be tracked and the erosion rate will be analyzed using the
Discrete Phase Model. From the result obtained, the validation work shows a satifactory
agreement, and the behaviour of water droplet erosion were succesfully analyzed and
discussed. On top of that, it is proven that the software used for this thesis is reliable to
solve such complicated process with an edaquate result.
