What is the most important function of the turbine used in a power station?

The primary objective of a turbine is to create a large surface area for maximum contact with the force that drives it round, this could be air, steam, water ect. The more efficient the turbine is at this means that it will produce a constant amount of motive power. The turbine connected to a generator shaft (most likely by a gearing system) will then turn this motive power into mechanical power and in turn electrical energy from the generator. In theory the as a secondary objective the turbine could be used as a cooling function to dissipate some of the waste heat energy produced in the generator.


How may energy be lost in a power station turbine?

Energy may be lost in a power station turbine due to friction between moving parts, air resistance, and inefficiencies in the conversion process from thermal energy to mechanical energy. This loss of energy results in a decrease in the turbine's efficiency and overall power output.


What was the original use of the turbine hall?

The Turbine Hall is a gallery within the Tate Modern Art Gallery on the South Bank of the river Thames in London. The gallery is housed in the old Bankside power station and as the name suggests, the Turbine Hall is where the main turbines of the power station were situated.

How Nuclear power station work?

A nuclear power station uses heat given off by the controlled fission of enriched uranium. The heat is used to boil water, the steam blows through the vanes of a turbine, and the turbine spins an electrical generator.


What does a hydroelectric power station need to function?

In order for a hydroelectic power station to function, the station will need a large supply of water. The station will also require large generators with turbines in order to create power from the pressure of the water.
