How much steam is required to produce 5 MW power in steam turbine?In fully condensing turbine we will need 20 TPH steam required to generate for 5MW
The power output of a steam turbine depends on various factors such as turbine size, steam pressure and temperature, and efficiency. Large steam turbines in power plants can generate hundreds of megawatts of electricity, while smaller turbines in industrial settings may produce tens to hundreds of kilowatts.
Technically a steam turbine is a particular type of steam engine. A classic steam engine usually refers to a reciprocating steam engine, which uses a piston and crank arrangement, where pressurised steam (from the boiler) forces the piston through its stroke, producing output power. A steam turbine produces power with pressurized steam expanding to high velocity, and impinging on turbine blades which produce rotational output power. A steam turbine can be considered similar to a windmill, although steam turbines typicaly rotate much faster, and often have many stages of steam expansion within a single machine.

The amount of electricity generated by a steam turbine in one second depends on several factors, including the size and efficiency of the turbine, the pressure and temperature of the steam, and the overall power output of the turbine. On average, a large steam turbine can produce anywhere from 1 to 5 megawatts of electricity per second. However, it is important to note that this is a general estimate and actual output can vary significantly based on specific operating conditions and design parameters.
A steam turbine condenser equipped with ejectors is usually fitted with two ejectors. The larger of the two is called the hogger and the smaller the huffer. Steam turbines are designed for efficiency and thus attempt to extract as much energy from the steam passing thru as is physically possible. Energy is extracted as both temperature and pressure decrease. The lower the temperature and pressure at the steam turbine's exhaust the more energy can be extracted from the steam. For this reason it is desirable for the steam turbine condenser (the exhaust) to be at the lowest temperature and pressure possible. The hogger, or hogging jet, is a large steam powered ejector that causes the steam condenser to operate under a near perfect vacuum whilst the steam turbine is in the start-up phase. In steady state operation the cooling effect of the condenser cooling water of the steam causes the condenser to operate under a nearly self sustained vacuum. The hogger is necessary in the start-up phase to prevent steam from condensing to water in the final stages of the turbine before the steam flow and cooling effect of the condenser can establish vacuum. The huffer or huffing jet runs continuously whilst the turbine is operating to remove any non-condensable gasses (i.e. air) that might leak into the condenser. It is nearly impossible to perfectly seal a condenser and turbine from air-in leakage. It should be noted that modern, large steam turbines do not employ steam ejectors to establish and maintain condenser vacuum. Modern designs utilize motor driven mechanical vacuum pumps.
Small steam turbines can range in price from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on the size, capacity, and manufacturer. Additional costs for installation, maintenance, and accessories should also be taken into consideration when budgeting for a small steam turbine system.
by calculating the inlet steam enthalpy-outlet steam enthalpy we will know the total kcal consumed for output mw required kcal for 1 kwh=860 now campare this with your turbine kcal for 1kwh now you came to know how much is your turbine efficiency................................................................................
To produce 1 kilowatt (kW) of power using steam, you need to consider the efficiency of the steam system and the specific energy content of the steam. Generally, about 2.4 kg of steam at 100°C can produce roughly 1 kW of power for one hour in a typical steam turbine. However, this can vary based on the efficiency of the turbine and the conditions of the steam.
The steam turbine will produce 400 J of output, and the steam engine 250 J. That's what the efficiency figure means.
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.
Titanic had three propellers. In the absence of solid proof, historians like Mark Chirnside feel that all three propellers had three blades. Steam engines drove her wing propellers and a steam turbine drove her central propeller. The turbine engine was not reversible although the steam engines were.
