Ljungstrom Turbine is a Radial Outflow Steam Turbine with two counter rotating discs. Blades are mounted in circles one bigger than the other. Blades of one rotor work as nozzles for the other rotor blades. This turbine design is very forgiving on wet steam. It is said that the turbine design had limitations on scaling up above 30 MW and hence could not compete with Axial Flow Turbines.

Why is it advantageous to use steam as hot as possible in a steam driven turbine?

in practice;the steam MUST be in the superheated region before entering the turbine.superheated steam means there is not moister in the steam (dry steam)the reason is moister will damage the turbine blades.in theory;the hotter the temperature the better the efficiency (look up vapor power cycles)work done by the turbine = the enthalpy (at temp. of steam entering the turbine)- the enthalpy at the turbine exist.the efficiency = work done by the turbine / the heat input.

How does thermal energy into kinetic energy look like?

Thermal energy can be converted into kinetic energy through a variety of processes, such as a steam engine or a gas turbine. In a steam engine, heat from burning fuel is used to boil water and create high pressure steam, which is then released to push a piston and generate mechanical motion. In a gas turbine, high temperature gas produced by burning fuel expands rapidly, driving the turbine blades and creating rotational motion.

Are steamboats used today?

There are water craft that look like stern-wheeler steamboats which still navigate the coasts and rivers of the modern world. However, one such "steamboat" is known to operate with large diesel engines, not steam, a case which may be common to other "steamboats." Interestingly, while not strictly stern-wheelers, many large, modern seagoing vessels are powered by steam, so in that sense, they're steam boats. The steam is superheated and under tremendous pressure and drives a high speed turbine. The power output of the turbine passes through a transmission, and then connects to the drive shaft and propeller.

What did steam trucks look like?

Steam trucks looked like steam trains, with large engines. They had big iron wheels and smoky funnels. They were so big and heavy that they ruined the roads.


How is heat used to generate electricity?

Turbine Heat is used to make electricity by.... boiling water which in turn makes steam and is generally channeled through a turbine, that will make the turbine spin (Look up "how a generator works") . Basically the turbine spins a magnet near some wires which makes an EMF, thus electricity.Stirling Engine Or, you can use the heat to power a Stirling Engine, which in turn can run an electrical generator .
