# Industrial Specification: Turbine Casing

## 1. Technical Definition
The outer housing that encloses and protects the turbine rotor and blades.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-150 bar internal pressure, -50°C to 650°C temperature**. Failure boundary: **Yield strength exceedance at 180 bar internal pressure or 750°C material temperature**, Mechanism: **Creep deformation due to Larson-Miller parameter exceeding 35 at 650°C for 100,000 hours, causing stress rupture**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.
