It is used as a compressor. It has the same advantages over a piston compressor as a gas turbine engine has over a piston engine. i.e. no valves, much lower part count and much greater efficiency.

What does a home wind turbine do?

A home wind turbine will use the power of wind to provide and generate energy. One can use a home wind turbine at home to provide electricity or heat water, for example.


Why is the throttling valve not replaced by an isentropic turbine in the ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle?

In an ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, the throttling valve is used to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant, allowing it to expand and cool without doing work. Replacing it with an isentropic turbine would introduce additional complexity and cost, as the turbine would need to extract work from the refrigerant during expansion. This would alter the cycle's efficiency and require a more complex control system, deviating from the simplicity and effectiveness of the refrigeration cycle that relies on the throttling process to achieve the desired cooling effect. Thus, the throttling valve effectively maintains the cycle's simplicity while achieving the necessary pressure drop.


What type of energy does not use a turbine to generate electricity?

Solar energy does not use a turbine to generate electricity. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity through photovoltaic cells, without the need for a turbine.


Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?

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.

Why would a turbine be used instead of a water wheel?

a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.


Which resource doesn't use a turbine to generate electricity?
