Calculating the Level of Noise Generated by Steam Jets Discharged into the Atmosphere at Thermal Power Stations

摘要

The specific features pertinent to the jets produced when steam is discharged into the atmosphere at thermal power stations are considered, and the noise generated by such jets is analyzed. A method for calculating the outflow of steam jets is proposed that uses the theory of jets having a high inefficiency ratio, and a formula for determining the overall level of acoustic power generated by a steam discharge is suggested, the parameters of which are related to the jet isobaric section.
