Essentially its the pressure prior to entering the turbine chamber via the MSV (main stop valve)
Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.
In a back pressure turbine all available energy from the inlet steam is NOT used to generate power; steam exhausts at a tangible pressure and is then used for, usually, heating or chemical processing. In a condensing turbine, all the inlet steam does mechanical work right down to the lowest pressureafter which it is condensed in a heat exchanger
High pressure steam hits the blades of a TURBINE and turns its shaft.
A surge pad in a steam turbine is a component designed to manage and stabilize the flow of steam within the turbine system. It helps prevent excessive pressure fluctuations and maintains a consistent flow, which is crucial for optimal turbine performance and efficiency. By providing a buffer against sudden changes in pressure or flow, surge pads contribute to the overall reliability and safety of the steam turbine operation.

due to diposition over blade HEAT

There has to be a built in expansion chamber or release valve. Otherwise the expansion would cause an explosion.
It sends hot gases from the combustion chamber to the 1st stage turbine blades at the correct angle and speed

The main uses for packing steam in a turbine are to produce electricity and power. The steam creates pressure when in turn spins a turbine at very high rates of speed.
Back pressure is the small amount of vacuum that is created when the used steam condenses from the turbine back into re-usable water.
To generate electricity from steam, a steam turbine is typically used. High-pressure steam is directed onto the turbine blades, causing the turbine to spin. The spinning turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

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.
