Losses Due to Friction of Turbine Wheel Revolving in Steam. Losses diie to revolving disks or wheels in steam are very diffi- cult to determine with accuracy. Tests to determine these losses are usually made with the wheel rotating in stagnant steam, and it is practically impossible to have, under these con- ditions, steam of the same quality or superheat in all parts of the casing. A number of formulas have been proposed for the friction losses of disks and blades in dry saturated steam, but t...here is no good agreement of the results of different experi- menters. In fact no great accuracy can be expected because there is no doubt that the exponents of logarithmic friction "5 Il6 THE STEAM TURBINE curves plotted from such tests vary considerably with the details of design, and besides, it is very difficult to get good tests.* An important reason why the tests from different designs of turbines do not agree better is that clearances between moving and stationary parts have an appreciable effect.
