What are the types of bearings used in a steam turbine?
main two type of bearing used in steam turbine:(1)thrust bearing (2)general bearing
What is a reaction steam turbine?
Steam turbine is when a device that has the extract thermal energy from pressurized steam. It is used to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.
Why journal bearing used in steam turbine?
to support crankshaft
How a coal burning power stations works?
Coal is burned to make heat, and the heat is used to boil water, which produces steam, and the steam pressure is used to rotate a steam turbine, and the rotating turbine is used to generate electricity.
What is catenary in steam turbine?
generally more than three shafts contact by coupling together in steam turbine. the shaft is heavry and will be sag. in order to reduce the bend force on coupling and bend force on bearing, the engienering calclated the shaft and simulated when its in operation condition. so, the catenary curve and bearing elevation data have been provided for steam turbine installation.
What is use of thrust pad in steam turbine?
Thrust pads are used to protect the steam turbine rotor from damage due to axial displacement due to axial thrust created by entry of steam in the turbine. generaly the pads clearence is 0.45mm for a bearing size 250mm.
What is absolute expansion of steam turbine?
it's the thermal expansion in the casing of hp or ip turbine can be noticed by journal or thrust bearing when moving <<
What is balance piston line of Turbine?
it is used balance axial thrust on turbine rotor due to admitting of high pressure steam in to turbine. it basic purpose is to save thrust bearing.
Where exactaly located thrust bearing in steam turbine?
Thrust bearings are mounted on turbines at or near the end of the shaft, closest to the steam chest (or inlet). This is to maintain the shaft in position with the casing of the turbine, allowing the casing and the shaft to expand evenly together toward the drive end of the turbine.
What does steam do to a turbine?
Steam (under pressure) comes into contact with the blades of the turbine through which it is flowing and, by the direct application of force, causes the blades to move, turning the turbine shaft. The turbine coverts the thermal energy of the steam into (rotating) mechanical energy. Surf on over to our friends at Wikipedia using the provided link and get more info. Oh, and check out the pics! Answer it depends what type of turbine one is using types of steam turbine 1 impulse turbine 2 reaction turbine in 1 st one steam is completely expanded inside nozzle and all pressure energy get converted in to kinetic energy using this impulse force turbine runs. in 2nd steam is multiple stage blades are used where high pressure superheated steam gets expanded inside the turbine in each stage and after each stage velocity of steam increases. very high temperature superheated steam is reaquired because it has very high specific volume which helps in reducing mass flow rate of steam.
Why extraction taken from steam turbine?
Why extractions are taken out from steam turbine.
Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the turbine
