Steam (under pressure) comes into contact with the blades of the turbine through which it is flowing and, by the direct application of force, causes the blades to move, turning the turbine shaft. The turbine coverts the thermal energy of the steam into (rotating) mechanical energy. Surf on over to our friends at Wikipedia using the provided link and get more info. Oh, and check out the pics! Answer it depends what type of turbine one is using
types of steam turbine
1 impulse turbine 2 reaction turbine in 1 st one steam is completely expanded inside nozzle and all pressure energy get converted in to kinetic energy using this impulse force turbine runs.
in 2nd steam is multiple stage blades are used where high pressure superheated steam gets expanded inside the turbine in each stage and after each stage velocity of steam increases.
very high temperature superheated steam is reaquired because it has very high specific volume which helps in reducing mass flow rate of steam.

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 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
Nozzle clearance how to steam turbine?
Steam turbine nozzle clearance is the total energy content available in steam. This is through a valve.
What causes steam turbine governor hunting?
inconsistent load will cause steam turbine hunting.
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.
How much power do you get from a steam turbine?
Depends on the turbine
What is a reaction steam turbine?
Steam turbine is when a device that has the extract thermal energy from pressurized steam. It is used to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.
