RPM stands for Revolutions Per Minute so, in short, RPM is the number of revolutions that the generator shaft turns in one minute.
It seems obvious that the question is really trying to understand RPM vs frequency in Hertz. To understand this, you need to know the number of poles in the rotating and/or stationary magnetic field. In a two pole generator, for instance, an RPM of 1800, or 30 RPS (Revolutions Per Second), yields 60 Hertz power. In a eight pole generator, for instance, an RPM of 450, or 7.5 RPS, yields 60 Hertz power. The equation is simple...
FHertz = SRPM / 60 * PNumber of Poles

What is the velocity of the outer turbine blade running at 3600 rpm the diameter of the turbine rotor is ten feet answe in mph?
1285.19 mph
What do you mean by turbine synchronization?
During a typical power plant startup, all components of the power plant are started slowly. The turbine is first rolled at a slow rpm. Then the rpm is increased gradually to a point where it can match the frequency of the grid. At this point, the turbine can be synchronized with the grid and start outputting electricity into the grid.
What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?
in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.
How do you spell turbine?
Turbine is the correct spelling.
Why draft tube is used in francis and kaplan turbine and not in pelton turbine?
The Kaplan turbine is a newer, more revolutionary version of the Francis turbine, which came before it. The draft tube is used so that the turbine does not need to be where the water flow is lowest.
How do you calculate rpm of a wind turbine?
You can calculate the rotation speed (rpm) of a wind turbine by dividing the rotational speed of the generator (usually given in revolutions per minute, or rpm) by the gear ratio of the turbine. The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the turbine's gear to the number of teeth on the generator's gear. This formula allows you to determine the turbine's rpm based on the generator's rpm and the gear ratio.

How do you calculate Wind turbine torque?
Measure the rpm & calculate the torque as power divided by angular velocity
What is the maximum rpm of a gas turbine engine?
Typically 3600 rpm for 60 hz production. Above answer is not very specific. The maximum RPM of a turbine generally depends on the maximum diameter of the rotating element. For example a large 240MW gas turbine will run at approximately 3000 RPM whereas a car engine turbo can run at 100 000 RPM and above. The limiting factor is that the blade tip velocity must stay below the speed of sound. On one rotation of a big turbine, the circular distance travelled by the blade tip is much further than the distance travelled by the blade tip of a very small turbine, so the RPM on the bigger turbine must be lower in order to stay below the speed of sound. The speed of sound is variable depending on air density, which is in turn affected by air temperature and altitude, so the blade tip velocities on most units run well below the speed of sound so that they can operate under various ambient conditions. Many turbine companies experiment with super-sonic blading as the air compressor sections on gas turbines are much more efficient at higher RPM and you could get significantly more output power with better air compression, but (I believe) that all commercial and industrial engines are sub-sonic.
How fast does a turbine in a nuclear power plant spin?
The turbine in a nuclear power plant typically spins at around 3,600 revolutions per minute (RPM) to generate electricity efficiently. The high-speed rotation of the turbine is used to drive the generator that produces electricity.
How fast does a turbine inside a hydro dam spin?
The speed at which a turbine inside a hydro dam spins can vary depending on the design and size of the turbine, as well as the water flow and head pressure. On average, turbines can spin at speeds ranging from 100 to 1000 revolutions per minute (RPM).
When was the Tesla turbine invented?
On his 50th birthday in 1906, Tesla demonstrated his 200 hp (150 kW) 16,000 rpm bladeless turbine. During 1910 1911 at the Waterside Power Station in New York, several of his bladeless turbine engines were tested at 100 5000 hp. It was patented by Nikola Tesla in 1913.
What is the full meaning of engine RPM?
