What is tenon in steam turbine?
It is what attaches the shroud to the turbine blades
Why vacuum is created in condenser on steam turbine?
Firstly, vacuum is being created in turbine exhaust and condenser rather than being required. It is created to reduce the back-pressures and to improve the turbine efficiency. Also, with vacuum the designers can design large size last stage blades of LP turbine for maximizing the turbine output.
Which type of steam is imparted on the blades of turbine?
Superheated steam.
What is a wheel composed of a series of blades that is used to turn a generator?
A turbine.
what is purpose of nozzle in steam turbine?
It sends hot gases from the combustion chamber to the 1st stage turbine blades at the correct angle and speed
What kind of energy is turbine blades turning?
from mechanical to electrical
What are three examples of mechanical?
Rotation of turbine blades, genrator, pully, wheels, lever.
What are three examples of mechanical energy?
Rotation of turbine blades, genrator, pully, wheels, lever.
What are the blades on a wind turbine called?
Blades
Energy transformation that occur during the operation of wind turbine?
During the operation of a wind turbine, the wind spins the blades of the turbine. Therefore, the energy is transferred into the turbine, which generates electricity. A generator is a machine that produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. And so as a result, the wind energy turns into mechanical energy and turns into electric energy. Does that help?
What is the theory behind generating electricity through hydroelectric power?
The main theory is that in a closed system, water at a high physical level runs downhill to a lower physical level. This water flow through the generators turbine blades induce the turbine to turn. Control of the water flow through the blades controls the speed of the turbine generator. The head pressure and volume of the water govern the size of the generator that is connected to the turbine.
What source of energy is used to make a large generator turn?
It is usually a steam turbine that powers a large generator, in which case it is the mechanical force caused by high pressure steam impinging on the turbine blades.
What are the parts of a wind turbine?
The base tower, the blades, the turbine.
What is tenon in steam turbine?
It is what attaches the shroud to the turbine blades
How the water turbine blades from hydro power?
when water passes thru a dam, it turns the turbine blades, the turbine blades turn a huge metal rod like stick and the rod turns and powers an generator.
Does a wind turbine have to have 3 blades?
no
What type of blades Parson's reaction turbine has?
only moving blades
