It is usually controlled thorough a regulator which regulates the steam. a bit like a throttle on a car.

What is the uses of packing steam in turbine?

The main uses for packing steam in a turbine are to produce electricity and power. The steam creates pressure when in turn spins a turbine at very high rates of speed.


What is controlled and uncontrolled extraction in double extraction steam turbine?

The extraction of steam can either be controlled or uncontrolled. In an uncontrolled extraction the pressure of the extracted steam will decrease with an increase in extraction flow from the turbine. In a controlled extraction the extraction pressure is kept constant as extraction flow is increased or decreased.


What is steam velocity in turbine?

That is how fast the steam is actually moving in the turbine. For impulse turbines it is twice as fast as the turbine blades. In reaction turbines it is the same speed as the blades. Because the blades of a turbine cannot move faster than 4500 feet per second without self destructing as it overcomes the centripetal force of the turbine wheels, the steam turbine is designed such that no turbine will exceed more than ~1150 feet per second on its tip speed. Thus the steam velocity through the turbine will be less than ~1150 fps for a reaction turbine and less than ~2300 fps for an impulse turbine, or about ~1570 mph, more than twice the speed of sound.


What is hunting in steam turbines?

How do you get power from a nuclear power plant?

The controlled nuclear reaction generates large amounts of heat. That heat boils water, which creates steam. The steam turns turbine blades, and the turbine generates electricity.


Is high speed balancing required for a steam turbine which has been idle for 15 years?

No.


What is a boiler reheater?

In a reheat turbine the stean first enters high speed turbine so its temp and pressure reduces before entering low speed turbine so a reheater is used to reheat the cooled steam

What is tripping speed?

in a steam turbine, it is the speed at which the turbine should not go above. some time they call it overspeed trip. because the turbine rotor and berings are not design for such high speed and is not capable to handle this huge cenerfugal forces. usually there is two type of trip system: Electronic and Mechanical. some Steam Turbins have both protaction system.
