How do turbines work?
A simple turbine.Air is drawn into the engine continuously and compressed by a series of rotating blades. Fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber and burnt increasing the gas temperature to around 1200C.The hot high pressure gas expands through a second set of blades mounted on the same shaft as the compressor blades. The energy of the gas is partially expended powering the compressor, but has a residual energy which is either expended as a hot jet (resulting in thrust) or which drives a further independent set of blades to power a propeller or other device.see http://www.rolls-royce.com/education/schools/how_things_work/journey02/index.html
What is the defferences between a steam turbine gas turbine?
STEAM TURBINE is a machine for generating mechanical power in rotary motion from the energy of steam at temperature and pressure above that of an available sink. A turbine operated by highly pressurized steam directed against vanes on a rotor.HEAT ENGINE is a physical or theoretical device that converts thermal anergy to mechnical out put.....it converts heat energy into work.
What are variable inlet guide vanes?
The first link has a picture of some of these vanes: first column, second row. VIGVs direct air into the first rotor stage. They have the effect of improving the difference between the mass flows at operating points in the mid-range and corresponding surge points (which are catastrophic points at which flow through the stage could spontaneously reverse). Please see the second link and third.
The vanes in curtis turbine are made of what metal?
Probably stainless steel alloy...
How does electro hydraulic governor functions?
governor has 3 modes of operation 1.SPEED CONTROL MODE-before sychronisation the governor runs in speed control mode.guide vanes open up and the turbine runs in the rated speed.when the governor gets connected to the grid that is when it gets synchronised then the speed control mode terminates. 2.OPENING MODE-load is increased in this mode and teh machine runs in the rated speed only. 3.POWER CONTROL MODE-it has two modes.joint controller and indivisual controller mode.in joint controller mode all the machine works all together and in the indivisual controller one setup point is given to the governor and the guide vanes vary accordingly
What is the purpose of guide vanes?
its a water turbine
What is the purpose of hydro guide vanes?
its a water turbine
What is tHe purpose of inlet guide vanes in gas turbine?
In axial flow compressors, the primary purpose of IGVs (fixed or variable) is to guide the airflow onto the first stage rotor blades at an appropriate or required angle of attack.
How you make electricity by heat?
The heat is usually used to turn water into steam. That steam then powers turbines which, turning coils inside magnets, produce electricity. good answer ; and u can turn Waste Heat Into Electricity
What is the difference between blade and vane?
A blade is a rotating airfoil, while a vane is a stationary airfoil. A set of blades is referred to as a rotor, while a set of vanes is called a stator. Compressors and turbines are comprised of alternating sets of rotors (blades) and stators (vanes).
What is the runway speed of a hydraulic turbine?
Runway speed is the speed at full opening of guide vanes at nominal head and no load on Generator
How many vanes are in a body?
There are a lot of vanes in a human body. Everywhere you look on your body there probably will be vanes
What are different types of vanes used in centrifugal pump?
there are three major types vanes are used for a centrifugal pumps those are 1.forward curved vanes 2.backward curved vanes 3.flat vanes
Do airports have wind vanes?
Weather vanes, or wind vanes measure the direction of the wind. Airports generally have high tech instruments to measure the weather as opposed to regular weather vanes.
What is the weather vane collective noun?
There is no standard collective noun for weather vanes, most likely because weather vanes are seldom found in groups.However, a place that sells weather vanes might have a display of weather vanes or someone who loves all types of weather vanes might have a collection of weather vanes.
What is a sentence using the word vanes?
The weather vanes spun crazily. The bomb had vanes to make sure it landed nose first.
What is a structure called with revolving vanes?
A windmill is an example of a structure with revolving vanes.
