The image above represents turbine stiffness. To calculate turbine stiffness, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing (E), Moment of Inertia of Tubing (I) and Mean Radius of Tubing (r).
The formula for calculating turbine stiffness:
σ = EI / r³
Where:
σ = Turbine Stiffness
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing
r = Mean Radius of Tubing
Let’s solve an example;
Find the turbine stiffness when the modulus of elasticity for tubing is 12, the moment of inertia of tubing is 10 and the mean radius of tubing is 4.
This implies that;
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing = 12
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing = 10
r = Mean Radius of Tubing = 4
σ = EI / r³
σ = (12)(10) / (4)³
That is, σ = 120 / 64
σ = 1.875
Therefore, the turbine stiffness is 1.875.
Calculating for the Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing when the Turbine Stiffness, the Moment of Inertia of Tubing and the Mean Radius of Tubing are Given
E = σ x r³ / I
Where;
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing
σ = Turbine Stiffness
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing
r = Mean Radius of Tubing
Let’s solve an example;
Find the modulus of elasticity for tubing when the turbine stiffness is 20, the moment of inertia of tubing is 10 and the mean radius of tubing is 2.

This implies that;
σ = Turbine Stiffness = 20
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing = 10
r = Mean Radius of Tubing = 2
E = σ x r³ / I
E = 20 x 2³ / 10
Then, E = 20 x 8 / 10
E = 160 / 10
E = 16
Therefore, the modulus of elasticity for tubing is 16.

Calculating for the Moment of Inertia of Tubing when the Turbine Stiffness, the Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing and the Mean Radius of Tubing are Given
I = σ x r³ / E
Where;
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing
σ = Turbine Stiffness
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing
r = Mean Radius of Tubing
Let’s solve an example;
Find the moment of inertia of tubing when the turbine stiffness is 24, the modulus of elasticity for tubing is 14 and the mean radius of tubing is 4.
This implies that;
σ = Turbine Stiffness = 24
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing = 14
r = Mean Radius of Tubing = 4
I = σ x r³ / E
I = 24 x 4³ / 14
So, I = 24 x 64 / 14
I = 1536 / 14
I = 109.7
Therefore, the moment of inertia of tubing is 109.7.
Calculating for the Mean Radius of Tubing when the Turbine Stiffness, the Moment of Inertia of Tubing and the Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing are Given
r = 3√(EI / σ)
Where;
r = Mean Radius of Tubing
σ = Turbine Stiffness
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing
Let’s solve an example;
Find the mean radius of tubing when the turbine stiffness is 18, the modulus of elasticity is 28 and the moment of inertia of tubing is 10
This implies that;
σ = Turbine Stiffness = 18
E = Modulus of Elasticity for Tubing = 28
I = Moment of Inertia of Tubing = 10
r = 3√(EI / σ)
r = 3√((28)(10) / 18)
Then, r = 3√(280 / 18)
r = 3√15.55
r = 2.49
Therefore, the mean radius of tubing is 2.49.
