Why mostly steam is used to rotate a turbine?
The Rankine cycle is one where a closed loop containing water/steam is used to transfer energy from an energy source such as a coal fired furnace or a nuclear reactor to a steam turbine/generator. It is the way all such power plants work, but not plants using gas turbines or combustion turbines which don't use a water/steam circuit. In the Rankine cycle there are progressive stages: 1. Cool feedwater is pumped at high pressure into a boiler which is heated by the furnace or nuclear reactor 2. The water is heated and evaporated at high pressure, becoming steam 3. The steam is further heated to become superheated 4. The steam is admitted to the HP end of the steam turbine, and it progresses in stages to the LP end by which time it is cooled and under vacuum (the vacuum is maintained by external cooling water and increases the efficiency considerably by getting the maximum energy out of the steam) 5. The steam condenses in the turbine condenser under vacuum, to produce cool water, and hence back to stage 1. Electrical energy is extracted by the generator which is coupled to the shaft of the turbine, but that is not really part of the Rankine cycle, which is described in thermodynamic terms only. See link below for more reading and diagrams.
What type of blades Parson's reaction turbine has?

Why efficiency of carnot heat engine is always greater than that of an actual engine?
The efficiency of a Carnot engine is theoretically always greater than that of an actual engine. The fact that it is impossible to build a thermodynamically reversable engine, which is one of the variables necessary to calculate its superiority to a real heat engine, makes the theorum practical for assessing a real heat engines efficiency only.
In thermal power generation part the steam came from turbine condensed and again resend to steam conversionIn this part my doubt is why return steam need to be cooled?
The low pressure steam from the last stage of the steam turbine is condensed so that it can be pumped back to the steam raising units at high pressure, as water. You can't compress steam as it would condense in the compressor. The only way to use steam as a gas in a gas turbine would be if it was supercritical, but this would mean operating at temperatures well above the limits for most engineering materials, and steam at these conditions would be very corrosive. This type of reactor cycle using a gas turbine has been considered using helium as the working fluid, and it may be built as the "pebble bed" reactor, or it may not. I think you need to understand more of thermodynamics. Read the Wikipedia entry for the "Rankine Cycle", see link below
IF you Use Inverter Stored Power Instead Of Electricity are you wasting power or saving?
Wasting energy if you are hooked up to the grid and charging your battery from a power socket.Inverter efficiency can never be 100% and this arrangement only makes sense to use during power cuts. If your battery is charged by solar energy or wind turbine then you will be saving power.
Operation of a combined cycle power plant?
A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency. For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%. It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.
How do you calculate brake efficiency of the motorcycle?
Depends on application. Front only? Rear only? Both 100% Too broad a question
What are the differences between a 4-cycle and a 2-cycle engine in terms of performance and efficiency?
A 4-cycle engine has four stages (intake, compression, power, exhaust) in one cycle, while a 2-cycle engine has only two stages (combustion and exhaust). 4-cycle engines typically have better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, but 2-cycle engines are simpler and can produce more power for their size.
Why the gas turbine needs 3 bucket stages only in 110MW TURBINE?
The 3 bucket stages in a 110MW gas turbine are designed to efficiently extract energy from the high-pressure hot gas produced by combustion. By using 3 stages, the turbine can effectively expand the gas across multiple stages, thereby maximizing energy extraction and overall efficiency within the power plant. Additionally, the design may also optimize the velocity and pressure of the gas flow to ensure proper turbine performance at the specified power output level.
What are the Advantages and disadvantages of a Combined Cycle Gas Turbines?
A combined cycle is characteristic of a power producing engine or plant that employs more than one thermodynamic cycle. Heat engines are only able to use a portion of the energy their fuel generates (usually less than 50%). The remaining heat (e.g. hot exhaust fumes) from combustion is generally wasted. Combining two or more "cycles" such as the Brayton cycle and Rankine cycle results in improved overall efficiency. It can also work with the Otto, diesel, and Crower cycles which may allow it to be suited to automotive use. Aside from the Rankine cycle, the Stirling cycle could also be used to re-use waste heat in automotive or aeronautical applications, for the simple reason that there is less weight (water) to carry and that stirling engines or turbines can be made to operate with low temperature differences.In a combined cycle power plant (CCPP), or combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, a gas turbine generator generates electricity and the waste heat is used to make steam to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine; this last step enhances the efficiency of electricity generation. Most new gas power plants in North America and Europe are of this type. In a thermal power plant, high-temperature heat as input to the power plant, usually from burning of fuel, is converted to electricity as one of the outputs and low-temperature heat as another output. As a rule, in order to achieve high efficiency, the temperature difference between the input and output heat levels should be as high as possible (see Carnot efficiency). This is achieved by combining the Rankine (steam) and Brayton (gas) thermodynamic cycles. Such an arrangement used for marine propulsion is called Combined Gas (turbine) And Steam (turbine) (COGAS).
What is efficiency effectiveness?
Efficiency effectiveness can only be measured by results; cost efficiency, time efficiency, output efficiency, etc.

What is difference bw condensing and non condensing steam turbines?
A condensing turbine uses all the energy from the steam going from high pressure turbine to secondary turbine to condensing turbine then sends the condensate back for reheating. where a non condensing turbine just uses the high pressure aspect of the steam then returns the low pressure stream back to be reheated. Condensng turbines utilises the entire available drop from high pressure to the vacuum in the condenser; a back pressure turbine only utilises only the top part, whereas an exhaust steam turbine utilises only th bottom part of the pressure drop. Hope that helps.
What is the reproductive cycle that only that only a few viruses go through?
The lytic cycle is the reproductive cycle that only that only a few viruse.
Is it possible that in an engine there will be an 100 percent efficiency without the presence of friction and other irreversibility?
No. No engine can be 100% efficient. The Carnot cycle is mathematically proven to provide an upper bound for efficiency. The efficiency of the Carnot cycle can be calculated from the formula:eta = 1 - Tc/THwhereis eta is efficiencyTc is the temperature of the heat sinkTH is the temperature of the heat source.The only way to make the (theoretical) efficiency 100% would be to have a heat sink at absolute zero (which is impossible due to the 2nd law of thermodynamics) or to have the heat source at a temperature of infinity (which is impossible due to the 1st law). Real engines always operate at an efficiency less than the theoretical because they operate on a less efficient cycle and/or posses real irreversibility in their operation. Consequently no engine - real or theoretical - can operate at 100% efficiency.

What is the energy transformation in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, the energy transformation involves converting nuclear energy from the fission process into heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator. The generator then converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.
