How is steam used to power a nuclear submarine?

Steam from the nuclear reactor turns turbines. These turbines either turn the propeller directly or turn generators that produce electricity to power electric motors which turn the propellor.

How does a propeller produce thrust?

A propeller is like a spinning wing. The airfoil shaped blades pull an airplane forward just as an airplane's wings lift it upward. The amount of thrust created by a propeller depends on how fast and at what angle its blades cut through the air. The propeller is generally powered by a combustion engine which fires pistons and turns the propeller.


What is ships boiler?

Some older ships used the power of steam to propel them through the water. A boiler is used to heat water to make steam which is passed to a steam engine which turns the propeller. In ships like the Titanic the boiler was fuelled by coal but later steam ships used gas to heat the water.

A piston engine turns a propeller or a jet engine turns turbines to give the aircraft forward movement and create lift around the wings.


What is the function of the propeller?

The propellers purpose is to pull (or push) the aircraft forward through the air. It does this in much the same way that the airplanes wing produces lift, only instead of being pushed forward through the air, it is spun in circles through the air.Most modern airplanes have a variable-pitch (fixed speed) propeller. The pilot is able to adjust the pitch (or bite) of the propeller to maximize performance at various altitudes.A propeller is a type of fan that converts rotational motion into thrust by transmitting power. The shape and angle of the blade create pressure.
