The turbines types are: Primary types: * Impulse
* Reaction By working fluid
* gas (turbine engines)
* steam * water (overshot and undershot) * tide
* air (compressed)
* wind (high and low solidarity)
Specialty types
* Transonic (gas flow exceeds sonic velocity) * Counter rotating * Statorless * Shrouded and shroudless
What else can I help you with?
Are Kraftwerk Union turbines impulse or reaction?
They are all reaction type. No inpulse stage is used in KWU turbines
Are all turbines powered by steam?
No, there are gas turbines powered by hot gas formed by the burning of kerosene (in aircraft engines) or by natural gas combustion for electrical generation. Gas turbines are also used in some naval ships. Then there are water turbines as used in hydro power. Also, wind can drive turbines.
How many tidal turbines are there in the world?
5698 but the are all in England
Where are all of the turbines?
Turbines range in size from the very small air driven turbines in dentists drills to massive units in power plants. The term includes windmills and jet engines, vacuum cleaners and kids' toys.
Is all electricity made in the same way?
No, it can be made by rotating machines or by solar panels. Rotating machines can be driven by engines or by the wind. Engines can be water turbines (hydroelectric), steam turbines (coal/oil), gas turbines or petrol or diesel.
What are some of the different designs of wind turbines?
country side wind turbines and modern turbines
How many turbines are in Ontario?
how many turbines are in Ontario
How much technology does it take to find wind turbines?
All it takes is the will to go out and look for them.
What do wind turbines hydroelectric dame and ethanol plants have in common?
they all help theearth
How many penstocks supply water to the turbines?
ONLY 1 PENSTOCK that's all
Do wind turbines generate electricity all the time?
Only while the blades are rotating.
Is it possible to attach small wind turbines over trains?
If you're talking about sticking turbines onto the train: It's possible, but pointless. The turbines would spin due to wind speed generated by the movement of the train, so all the power that is going into the turbines has come from the train in the beginning. Basically you're using the motor of the train to spin the generator of the turbines. The train has to work harder, and the energy you get from the turbines will be less than the extra energy that's being spent by the train. If you're talking about sticking wind turbines by the track, to spin by the pressure wave: That's also possible, but almost as pointless. Turbines by the track would resist air flow, and when the train is travelling it will push a cushion of air in front of it. Something getting into the way of this air cushion, (like turbines) would basically make the air in front of the train denser, and harder to push through. On top of that, there aren't many places where trains go by all the time, so the turbines wouldn't have much to work with.
