What is needed to run the turbine of a hydroelectric power plant?
Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).
What actions would be required if the safety valve was popping and the steam pressure indicated 30 psi on the boiler?
RUN!
How a steam turbine can run?
A turbine extracts some of the energy from a moving fluid or gas and turns it into rotational motion. In a power plant, the rotational motion drives a generator, and the generator produces electricity.If the turbine is in a hydroelectric plant, the moving fluid is river water pulled towards lower elevations by gravity. If the turbine is in a coal-fired plant, the fluid is high-pressure steam escaping from a boiler heated by the coal. Generating electricity by wind also uses turbines (they look a lot different, though!) to change the motion of the air into the rotation needed to drive the generator.
How do you produce electricity from biodegradable waste?
Biodegradable waste can be digested by bacteria which will produce methane as a byproduct; methane is a flammable gas that can be used as fuel to run a turbine that generates electricity.
What is the function of Gas Turbine Generator?
Gas turbines are engines. Gas turbines, turboprops and turboshafts all work similarly--the engine turns a fan; the air coming off the engine's fan turns another fan, which is connected to a shaft that does the work you bought the engine to do. In fact, the most popular turboprop engine--Pratt & Whitney's PT-6--is also available set up as a turboshaft or a gas turbine. The gas turbine has a few advantages over the diesel engine. First, it's lightweight. General Electric will sell you a 33,000 horsepower gas turbine that weighs 10,000 pounds; Pielstick will sell you a 7000 horsepower diesel that weighs 70,000 pounds. Second, it's very reliable. And third, it can run on many kinds of fuel. Gas turbines own the natural gas pumping industry because they'll run on natural gas, which is right there--just run a little pipe from the gas main to the fuel control on the engine, and you're in business. The disadvantage of a gas turbine is it won't speed up very quickly. If you have a ship with a gas turbine in it, that's not a big problem--ships accelerate slowly no matter what kind of engine they have, just because they're big and have to push water out of the way. If you're pumping natural gas you don't care about acceleration at all--the engine is always going to run at the same speed. But this slow acceleration is one of the reasons they're not good car engines. (The major reason they're not good in cars is if you don't know how to start a turbine engine you'll destroy it; gasoline engines are much more difficult to harm that way.)

How do you get electricity using pressure?
Steam pressure can be used to run a steam turbine which generates electricity by converting the motion of magnets into voltage.
What boost pressure does a standard subaru impreza v5 sti run?
17psi
What is the fuel pressure required for a 5.8L ford engine to run the injectors properly?
the fuel pressure is around 30psi

How gas turbine work?
Gas turbine works with the use of many kinds of fuel to run a compressor. The compressor will bring the atmospheric air flows through its highest pressure and with the addition of fuel into the air it will ignite and then the combustion will generate a high-temperature flow.
What do you need to run a household on solar and wind power?
Sunshine and wind. Hardware you will need solar panels and a wind turbine and batteries. a calculation of your power requirements will let you know how many solar cells and how large a wind turbine will be needed to run your house off the grid. costs are substantial. at least $45k for all required items.
What are the two standard types of solar energy conversions?
Solar panels (direct sunlight to electricity) & mirrors which concentrate the heat to boil (usually water) to run a turbine-generator set.
What actions would be required if the safety valve was popping and the steam pressure indicated 30 psi on the boiler?
RUN!
How do close formula feeds differ from open feeds?
The feed system cycles between boiler and turbine and enables the steam to return to the boiler as feed water. A closed feed cycles a main propulsion steam run turbine through a high pressure water tube boiler. The condenser, set to a high vacuum, will receive the steam turbine exhaust.

How does fossil fuel work in a power plant?
Fossil fuel like coal or natural gas is brought to the power plant by trains. Then it is burned to heat water to make steam. The steam is under pressure and it wants to escape, so it is run through a turbine and the power of steam spins the turbine. The spinning turbine runs and electric generator that makes electricity.
