What is the wheel chamber pressure in turbine?
Resistance offered by turbine to the steam
Why a steam turbine's wheel chamber pressure goes high?
due to diposition over blade HEAT
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.
Is a turbine a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water wind or steam?
Yes, a turbine is a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water, wind, or steam. It is connected to the dynamo (alternator) that generates electric power.
What is a large wheel that is turned by steam?
A turbine is rotated by steam, this is most commonly used in the process of producing electricity through the method of a coal fired power station.
How do you work out the steam battery puzzle in steam works island?
You have to get the pressure to -5 and then turn the wheel thingy.
What is a Turbo?
Short for turbocharger, It is an exhaust driven air compressor. Exhaust gases exit the engine and enter the turbine housing where it spins the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft which the compressor wheel is also attached. When more power is needed, the turbine/compressor wheel assembly spins faster and the compressor wheel sucks in more air and compresses it creating boost/positive manifold pressure/more power.
What is the difference between steam turbine and water turbine?
The difference is that geysers are way much hotter than the steam from hot springs. The geysers can give you 3rd degree burns. But so can the steam from hot springs if you're in there to long.
How does a turbine and generator work?
The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What has the author O P T Kantorowicz written?
O. P. T. Kantorowicz has written: 'On steam turbine wheel, batch and blade vibrations'
What are the reasons of Erosion and deposits in steam turbine?
The steam. Steam passing through a turbine spinning at a speed of 3600rpm will have a tip velocity on it largest wheel of about 1800 feet per second. In order to reach that speed the steam must be moving at least that fast through the blades. that is about 1200 miles per hour, or more than 1 1/2 times the speed of sound. The steam also over time picks up impurities from the steam pipe to the turbine, these will cause erosion similar to sand blasting. The water in the boiler has impurities that can't be removed effectively, one is silica. At high temperature in the boiler the silica vaporizes into the steam passages, as it passes through the turbine the steam cools and the silica solidifies again into deposits on the turbine blades. There are other causes but these are the most common.
What de convice converts energy of motion into electrical energy?
any common electrical generator ... windmill, hydro, bicycle wheel, steam turbine, etc.
