What is hydorpower energy?
Hydropower energy is energy that is created by using water to make it steam and move giant turbines to produce electricity.
What type of energy turns a turns a turnbine?
Different forms of energy can turn turbines: wind energy and water energy can turn turbines to dive electric power generators. Steam turbines are also used for this purpose. Then there are gas turbines which can be used for electric power, and they are also used in aircraft.
Is it possible to convert internal energy to mechanical energy?
Yes, examples are steam turbines, locomotive, hydraulic turbines, etc.
How are Nuclear energy transformed into usable energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce steam. This steam used to rotate turbines
What does the steam turbines do in a nuclear reactor?
Primarily, the steam turbines spin the generators, which make electricity. That is the primary objective of a nuclear power plant, to make electricity. There are other steam turbines in a nuclear power plant which are used for various functions, such as High Pressure Coolant Injection and Low Pressure Coolant Injection, which are used during various shutdown and emergency scenarios.
Why is OTEC conducted in a vacuum chamber?
Warm sea water, in an open system, is pumped into a vacuum chamber so that it will boil, and the resultant steam will drive the electricity turbines.
What is the function of gland steam in steam turbines?
Gland steam is steam supplied to the labyrinth glands of the low pressure turbine to prevent air entering in the exhaust side, which disturbs the vacuum (± 50 mbar absolute) in the condenser. Gland steam pressure is to supply at about 0,2 bar.
What are the capacity of Steam Turbines?
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.
What is the source of power for turbines in electrical power stations?
Turbines are driven by steam so it is thermodynamic energy, but that can be created by burning fossil fuels or by nuclear fission
What is the working principle of steam jet ejector?
it is not based on bunoullies theorem it is based on mach number.when sonic speed of steam converted to supersonic steam by nozzle vacuum is created.
What is the methods of compounding of steam turbines?
no
What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
Fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn?
Steam turbines, which then themselves turn generators.Nearly every method for generating electricity at commercial scales uses turbines at some point (though they may be wind, steam, or water turbines).
Why is excessive moisture in steam undesirable in steam turbines?
moisture present in steam due to quality of steam.
What 2 things do you have today due to the steam engine?
The electric grid (power supply) is one thing mainly dependent on steam engines (turbines), more than 90% of the worlds electric generators use steam turbines to generate electricity (nuclear power plants generate steam to power the turbines). Because of that, anything that uses electricity came into being, such that, we could claim we have computers as a result of the industrial technology created, because of the steam engine.
What has the author J Kenneth Salisbury written?
J. Kenneth Salisbury has written: 'Steam turbines and their cycles' -- subject(s): Steam-turbines
After diploma in mechanical engineering you which fields you can starat your study?
steam turbines and gas turbines
