Gas turbines are generally more efficient than steam turbines, especially in terms of power-to-weight ratio and startup time. They can achieve higher efficiency in combined cycle setups, where waste heat from the gas turbine is used to generate steam for a steam turbine. However, steam turbines can be more efficient in large-scale power plants that operate continuously. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on specific application needs, fuel availability, and operational conditions.

What is difference between a geothermal and thermal power plant?
The steam turbine blades to turn creates steam.The steam engine, steam piston Myllng after the turn brings.+++They are both steam-engines. The turbine is purely rotative; the reciprocating steam-engine uses cylinders and pistons.
Where are ratchet mechanisms used?
Ratchet mechanisms used in Gas power plant for Gas Turbine. (like Barring gear in steam turbine).
What relationship exsists between turbine and generator?
A turbine is powered by such things as steam, burning gas or oil, water, or wind. The turbine is a type of engine, which might be thought of as a more efficient choice than a gas engine or reciprocating steam engine for doing the same job. The turbine could do many things ranging from powering a vehicle such as a helicopter, a ship, a locomotive, or a piece of equipment such as a centrifuge, a pump, or a generator. When a turbine powers a generator, the generator makes electricity.
What is the difference between steam turbine and water turbine?
The difference is that geysers are way much hotter than the steam from hot springs. The geysers can give you 3rd degree burns. But so can the steam from hot springs if you're in there to long.
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
What is the defferences between a steam turbine gas turbine?
STEAM TURBINE is a machine for generating mechanical power in rotary motion from the energy of steam at temperature and pressure above that of an available sink. A turbine operated by highly pressurized steam directed against vanes on a rotor.HEAT ENGINE is a physical or theoretical device that converts thermal anergy to mechnical out put.....it converts heat energy into work.
How is natural gas used to make electricity?
Most use the gas to burn and create steam. The steam drives a steam turbine that runs a generator. It can also be used to fuel a jet engine that drives a generator.

What is needed to turn the blade of a turbine?
Wind, water, steam or another liquid or gas.
How is electricity generated using gas?
Gas-fired power plants burn natural gas to heat water and produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which converts mechanical energy into electricity. This process is efficient and widely used to generate electricity for various applications.
Where are ratchet mechanisms used?
Ratchet mechanisms used in Gas power plant for Gas Turbine. (like Barring gear in steam turbine).
How can you Discuss and compare between steam and gas turbine power cycles?
Steam and gas turbine power cycles are both used for electricity generation but operate on different thermodynamic principles. The steam turbine cycle typically involves heating water to create steam, which then drives the turbine, while the gas turbine cycle uses combustion gases to turn the turbine directly. Steam cycles generally have a higher thermal efficiency due to the ability to utilize heat recovery, but they require more water and infrastructure. In contrast, gas turbines are more compact, start up quickly, and are often used in peaking power plants, though they typically have lower thermal efficiency compared to advanced steam cycles.

What is used to turn a generator?
A handle, a pair of pedals, a treadmill, a water mill, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, a wind turbine, a steam turbine, a gas turbine.
How do you produce electricity from biogas?
You can use the bio gas to fuel either a steam cycle generator or a gas turbine.
