A turbine extracts some of the energy from a moving fluid or gas and turns it into rotational motion. In a power plant, the rotational motion drives a generator, and the generator produces electricity.
If the turbine is in a hydroelectric plant, the moving fluid is river water pulled towards lower elevations by gravity. If the turbine is in a coal-fired plant, the fluid is high-pressure steam escaping from a boiler heated by the coal. Generating electricity by wind also uses turbines (they look a lot different, though!) to change the motion of the air into the rotation needed to drive the generator.

Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the turbine
What is heat rate of steam turbine How to calculate heat rate of steam turbine?
manish
What is positive axial displacement of steam turbine?
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
What is a steam turbine?
It is an engine.A steam turbine is a heat engine that uses the expansion of steam passing through stationary nozzles and blades on a shaft to turn the shaft. The steam can move through the turbine axially (one end of shaft to the other end), radially (shaft to outer casing), or tangentially (around the outer edges of the turbine wheel). In an impulse turbine, the steam is expanded in nozzles and pushes the blades. In a reaction turbine the steam is expanded in the nozzles AND in the blades, the reaction of the expansion of the steam pushes away from the blades spinning the wheel in the process. The expansion of the steam is necessary to increase its velocity through the turbine.
What is turbine windage protection?
when steam flow blockage occured in steam turbine due to damage of blades/nozzles than steam temperature will increase so protect the turbine from high temperature this protection is introduced.
How do boilers get energy from turbine?
Usually boilers provide steam to power a steam turbine. The turbine could provide electricity to run any pumps in the boiler. But boilers get their energy from a heat source.
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
What is the definition of combined cycle turbine technology?
Using waste energy in a gas fired electricity generation plant to run a steam turbine
How do you get electricity using pressure?
Steam pressure can be used to run a steam turbine which generates electricity by converting the motion of magnets into voltage.
What is steam of plants?
A steam plant is any where from 33% to 48% efficient. With a steam plant you use steam to run an electirc generator. Water is heated creating steam. Which is sent through the steam turbine.
How is coal-based energy collected and produced?
It is mined from the ground and burned to run a steam turbine.
What are the preventive maintenance of steam turbine?
The preventive maintenance of steam turbine mainly entails frequent servicing of the parts. This will ensure a smooth performance of the steam turbine.
What type of cycle used in steam turbine?
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
What is heat rate of steam turbine How to calculate heat rate of steam turbine?
manish
How does steam turbine works?
Steam or water, it works the reverse of a fan, where the fan pushes air down, the turbine is turned by the steam or water. there's a shaft leading from the turbine to the generator, which produces the electricity
Why you are maintain the vacuum in steam turbine explain me briefly?
why we are maintain vacuum in steam turbine at steam outlet or exhaust side
