No, there are gas turbines powered by hot gas formed by the burning of kerosene (in aircraft engines) or by natural gas combustion for electrical generation. Gas turbines are also used in some naval ships. Then there are water turbines as used in hydro power. Also, wind can drive turbines.
What else can I help you with?
Cold fusion powered Submarines for all?
there is no such thing as cold fusion. although when it gets invented you can be sure that subs will be one of the first to get it. all American subs are powered by nuclear fission. the nuclear reactions heat water which is pumped into a device called a steam generator. the steam generator makes... steam! the steam powers the turbines that make electricity and propel the boat.
How did the navy use nuclear power?
The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.
How does the United Arab Emirates generate electricity?
desial power plant
Are Steam turbines still being used?
Yes, Steam turbines are still widely used today for generating electricity in power plants. They are efficient, reliable, and can be used in various sizes to meet different energy needs. Advances in technology have also made steam turbines more environmentally friendly.
How is electricity in your homes powered?
The electricity in your home is a generated force of alternating current (AC). The prime movers of the generators can be hydro electric dams, coal fired steam turbines, gas fired steam turbine, wind generated turbines to mention a few.
What is electricity powered by?
Where do you live? Everything around us is powered by electricity. lights, TV, sound, some heating systems, some stoves, refrigerators.
What do ALL power plants use to create electricity?
Most power plants use turbines connected to generators to create electricity. The turbines are typically powered by various sources such as steam, water, wind, or fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil. The generators then convert the mechanical energy from the turbines into electrical energy.
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 was a major advantage of the steam powered factories over the water powered factories?
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
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.
Why is excessive moisture in steam undesirable in steam turbines?
moisture present in steam due to quality of steam.
