%0 Journal Article %T INVESTIGATION OF SHUT DOWN AND STOPPAGE PROCESS OF STEAM TURBINE %A Aleksander Ukla¨˝ski %J Bulletin of the Institute of Heat Engineering %D 1986 %I %X The importance of shut-down and stoppage of a steam turbine system during its operating process, especially with duo-polar alternator of 50 Hz frequency, has been emphasized in the paper. On the basis of equation of motion the field under coasting curve, describing the shut-down and stoppage processes, has been obtained and the shape of the curve has been analysed. The shut-down and stoppage processes were compared with the start-up process. %U http://www.papers.itc.pw.edu.pl/index.php/JPT/article/view/130/230
