Where are the requirements for steam turbine maintenance jobs?
To find out more about steam turbine maintenance jobs specifications one would be advised to contact specialists from recruitment agencies or job centers.
how do I find out if I have a discrimination case?
There is a 3 part instructional video series on steam turbine opertaion available at www.maintenanceresources.com.
Does a steam turbine convert heat energy to kinetic energy?
When one basically sees the flow system in a power plant, then following formula for is-entropic process is important: h+(V2/2) = constant heat energy is related to 'h'(enthalpy). The conversion of 'h' to 'V'(velocity) takes place in a CD (convergent divergent)nozzle, where the steam expands and 'h' is converted into kinetic energy of steam (in turn steam gets a huge momentum)which turn the steam turbine. So basically the kinetic energy for the steam is developed in CD nozzle itself (from decreasing enthalpy which was generated due to heat energy in super heater or the boilers), which turns the turbine.
What is efficiency of steam plant?
Generally, the efficiency of (any) power station is energy output/energy input x 100% (to find the percentage). In most cases, energy input is usually greater than energy output, leading to a value that is smaller than 100%.
What is a simple explanation of nuclear power?
The stuff you find in Power stations is just a big steam turbine. However the stuff you find in bombs is just a big chain reaction (implosion type only)
What is a geothermal generator?
Like all steam turbine generators, the force of steam is used to spin the trubine blades which spin the generator, prducing electricity. But with geothermal energy, no fuels are burned.go to this website to find more about it.http://geothermal.marin.org/Geopresentation/sld038.htm
Where can I purchase turbine parts online?
You can find turbine parts on eBay. You can also purchase certain turbine parts on amazon.com.
Find out about the wheel and Axle in a turbine?
In a turbine, the wheel and axle mechanism is used to convert the kinetic energy of a fluid (like water or steam) into mechanical energy. The wheel is typically a paddlewheel or turbine blade that rotates, while the axle is a shaft connected to the wheel that drives a generator or other machinery. This rotation generates electricity or powers machinery by utilizing the principle of rotational force.
Where can I find good used turbine parts ?
The best places to find used turbine parts would be the classified ads at online forums or auction sites.Calltru.com is one specialized site where you can find all sort of turbine resources.
Why steam turbine is used in thermal power plant?
Well due to the ever growing problem of global warming caused by pollutants in the air causing the green house effect (which destroys the protective atmosphere around Earth, and lets the harmful parts of the sun's ray onto Earth) We need to find an alternative to this, so a popular solution is Wind energy. Wind energy is clean through the fact no pollutants are released when the turbines spin/generates electricity.
How is the electricity generated in a coal-fired power plant?
Coal is made from dead plants.In the United States a little about 50%. See http://www.eia.doe.gov for more details.Simplest version:Burn the coal, which generates heat. Use the heat to boil water. The steam from the boiling water forces blades on a generator fan to turn, which turns the generator. Electrical current is then produced. This is a gross oversimplification, but you get the point.More detailed version:A machine called a pulverizer grinds the coal into a fine powder.The coal powder mixes with hot air, which helps the coal burn more efficiently, and the mixture moves to the furnace.The burning coal heats water in a boiler, creating steam.Steam released from the boiler powers an engine called a turbine, transforming heat energy from burning coal into mechanical energy that spins the turbine engine.The spinning turbine is used to power a generator, a machine that turns mechanical energy into electric energy. This happens when magnets inside a copper coil in the generator spin.A condenser cools the steam moving through the turbine. As the steam is condensed, it turns back into water.The water returns to the boiler, and the cycle begins againCoal is burnt and heats water. Water vapor makes a turbine move and generates electricity. When the coal is burnt, poisonous gases are diffused but has no entry in making electricity and pollutes the air.A coal-fired power station, burns coal to heat water so that it turns into steam. The steam is used to turn turbines. The turbines spin generators which generates electricity. A generator operates by moving coils of wire in a magnetic field, as the wires move, electricity is generated within the wires.Traditionally, coal is burned to produced heat, gasses, and solid waste. The heat is used to boil water. The steam produced turns a turbine which turns a generator. The generator produces electricity. That technique has an efficiency of 40%. China claims it has developed a technique with 60% efficiency. It will be interesting to find out what it is. China has also claimed that it has discovered an inexpensive way to remove Carbon Dioxide from coal fired electric plants. If so, that is a fantastic break through.burning coal is used to boil water. The steam the pushes turbine blades, turning the turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator which produces electricity.-- Coal is burned in air, releasing heat. -- The heat is used to boil water.-- The steam is directed through turbine vanes.-- The turbine spins an electrical generator.
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.
