Structural integrity of the gas turbine blades is of great concern. A set of methods and instruments is proposed to study the problems of the test loading of the industrial turbine blades. The approach aims to model the possible hightemperature, shock and irradiation impacts. The test loading is performed using the high-current relativistic electron beam. The developed methodology can be used for test and identification trails of the turbine blades. The experimental bench is designed to assist the thermographic measurements of the temperature dynamics in the blades. It also comprises the corresponding algorithms and software to perform the necessary calculations with.
This paper outlines an approach to monitor nuclear power plant spray ponds using thermographic monitoring. The approach involves measuring temperatures during summer and winter periods to identify potentially dangerous or fault-prone areas and improve the reliability of technical water supply. The automated machine processing procedure for thermograms was developed based on digital image processing. The results demonstrate that the obtained database can effectively help determine losses resulting from critical situations at nuclear power plants.
Application of cooling water supply systems thermography monitoring on the nuclear power plants was considered in this work. The main purpose was to improve the monitoring techniques of the technical-water supply control system on NPP, and to study the peculiarities of the heat occurrence happened under leakage formation on water level. The determination technique of painted coating peeling initial stage was developed. The temperature fields of spray ponds shields and pumping facility were measured and numerically analysed using fractal and segmentation methods. Possible mechanisms for the heat occurrence on a soil surface were discussed. The fractal dimensions fields of noises were built.
