The modern steam turbine was developed in the late nineteenth century to replace them. Westinghouse shipped its first steam turbine in 1897, a few years before rival General Electric.
The capacity of each steam turbines has more than 530 GW in over 6000 installed units. The steam turbines provide high reliability and sustained high efficiency.

Vacuum is created in steam turbines to increase the efficiency of the turbine by lowering the pressure at the exhaust end, which allows the steam to expand and produce more work. This helps to generate more power from the same amount of steam.
The steam can be used to turn a generator's turbines and make electricity.
Yes, turbines used today are radial steam engines.
