What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?

in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.


How does a turbo blower work?

turbo blower is an equipment where a turbine is attached with the blower part. steam enters through the turbine inlet and expands through the blades and goes to the outlet which helps the turbine shafts to rotate. this turbine shaft is attached with the shaft of blower that makes the blower rotating.


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.


Why use journal bearing in turbine?

putting a journal bearing at each end of the turbine rotor or shaft would be to support it.


What components are present in every nuclear power plant that generates electricity?

(Nuclear reactor) creates heat Water heated to create pressurised steam (Boiler) Pressurised steam released via turbine chamber (Steam Turbine) translating motion to turbine shaft. Turbine shaft windings rotate inside magnets to generate electricity (Generator)

Where is the turbine shaft speed sensor on a 1996 Ford Ranger?

This engine has no turbine or turbo. Although the 1996 Ford Ranger does not have a turbine or turbo, it does have a turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor. It is located inside the automatic transmission.

What is meant by axial displacement in steam turbine?

Axial displacement is the motion along the shaft of the turbine caused by the force exerted by the steam or by the thermal expansion of the shaft and casing.

How does a wind turbine generator work?

The main shaft which is spun by the turbines rotates magnets inside of a coil of copper wire. This makes electricity.


Where exactaly located thrust bearing in steam turbine?

Thrust bearings are mounted on turbines at or near the end of the shaft, closest to the steam chest (or inlet). This is to maintain the shaft in position with the casing of the turbine, allowing the casing and the shaft to expand evenly together toward the drive end of the turbine.


What is eccentricity in steam turbine shaft?

Eccentricity is the deflection in the shaft away from truly straight. The turbine shaft when not turning will settle into a bowed shape (measured in thousandths of an inch), this is the deflection from straight. Large turbines are placed on turning gears as they are cooled or warmed up to minimize this deflection. As a turbine is started this eccentricity produces vibration as the deflection changes rotational position, if the turbine is started up too quickly this deflection will increase as a result of inertia trying to deflect the weight of the deflected shaft outward. Eventually the deflection, as a result of rolling the turbine up slowly, will straighten to the true center of the turbine shaft.
