The purpose of the research is to quantify direct leakage for a Ljungström air preheater. The leak flow path was assumed to be similar to flow through an orifice and a theoretical approach was used to calculate leakage. A 2D CFD model with a geometry similar to the one considered in the theoretical approach was also developed to calculate leakage. It was noted that for the different leak gaps investigated,...
