What is the average size of a turbine?
Turbines range from the air turbine in dentists drill to very large units at steam power plannt. There is no way to deterine the average size.
What is purpose of using Intermediate and Low pressure turbines in a thermal power station?
To obtain as much mechanical energy from the steam produced in the plant's steam raising units as possible, it is expanded through increasing sized turbine wheels, eventually expanding into a vacuum in the turbine condenser before condensing and returning to the steam cycle.
Does the Crist power plant produce electricity by burning coal to create steam to power a turbine?
Yes the James F. Crist Generating Plant located in Pensacola, Florida burns coal to both heat and turn water into steam which is used to turn a turbine connected to an electrical generator which produces the electricity. It's total generating capacity is 970,000 KW, and it has four (4) generating units.
When was the huntly power station built?
The Huntly Power Station in New Zealand was built in stages, with the first unit commissioned in 1983 followed by further units in subsequent years. The station is located in Huntly, Waikato, and is one of the largest thermal power stations in New Zealand.
What is a turbine trip?
A turbine trip is an automatic shutdoen to protect the wquipment from over-speed damage. It is similar to blowing a fuse on an electrical system die to a short circuit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any device which will instantly shut down the turbine. There are high vibration trips, overspeed trips, high bearing temperature trips, low lube oil pressure trips, eccentricity trips, axial position trips, and for generating units: out of phase trips, low voltage trips, high voltage trips, reverse power trips, power to ground trips, and a few others.
How does the human ear respond logarithm to intensity?
Intensity can be measured by converting units of electrical power in to decibels.
What is LRU in gas turbine engines?
Line replacement units
How much horse power does a industrial turbine engine have?
Industrial turbines have many uses. The primary use of turbines today is Electrical Generation. Small turbines are used to operate pumps, compressors and other machinery, and they are used as propulsion units on most ships. These turbines range in size from 10 hp oil pump drives to 1.5 million horsepower generating units.
Does a 1.8 MW wind turbine produce 1.8 MW in a year?
You've misunderstood something in order to even be able to ask that question. A watt is a measure of power, which is an instantaneous value. A 1.8 MW turbine produces 1.8 MW whenever it's turning at its rated speed. It sounds like you want to measure energy, which is power multiplied by time. If your power units are watts and your time units are seconds, then you get energy in joules (there are roughly 31.5 million seconds in a year, so if the turbine is at full speed the whole time, you get about 56.8 terajoules of energy).
State the units of measurement for mechanical energy and electrical power?
The official unit for any type of energy (not just mechanical energy) is the joule. The official unit for any power (not just electrical power) is the watt, equal to joules / second.
Main difference between VA and W?
VA and W both are units of power. VA indicates the power is of an electrical nature. W does not distinguish whether the energy source is electrical, mechanical, magnetic, heat or otherwise.
How many units in one megawatt of electricity?
A megawatt is one million watts. One watt is a unit of electrical power.
