The gas (working fluid) having flown through the turbine does some work on the turbine, converting its thermal energy into mechanical work produced by the turbine and coming out as an expanding gas with lower temperature and pressure.

In a wind turbine - does increasing the blade length or decreasing the blade length increases the speed of the turbine?

Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).


In stean turbines can the steam exhausted out of the turbine can be used in other turbine?

No. The steam exhausted has neither the pressure(Force) nor the temperature. The steam at inlet is at high pressure say 20-65-?? bar having a temperature of 265-530C. This pressure forces the turbine wheels to rotate and in the process loses pressure and expands. The different stages of turbine wheels are rotated by the steam having less and less pressure and finally after losing its strength(Pressure) it is let out at 0.1 bar. At this stage the roaring lion has been subdued to a country mouse. The Temperature is also around 45C- almost hot water. Hence this exhaust is condensed back into water and is snt back to boiler to regains strength(Pressure). Yes this exhaust can be used if such a low temperature can heat up the rooms.


What turbine does not require draft tube?

Draft tube is used to increase the pressure from the low turbine exit pressure to the pressure of the surrounding to which the fluid is rejected.Only reaction turbines require a draft tube as there is low pressure at the exit of the turbine,where as in an impulse turbine the pressure at the inlet and the exit is essentially the same, which is above the pressure to which the fluid is rejected and thus it require no draft tube.


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.


What is throttle pressure regulator of a steam turbine?

Essentially its the pressure prior to entering the turbine chamber via the MSV (main stop valve)

What is tmcr bmcr conditions of thermal power plant?

BMCR is the boiler maximum continous rating .It is that the maximum temperature , steam flow or the pressure that is used to generate full load or the bolier can withstand.TMCR is the turbine maximum continous rating .It is that the maximum temperature , steam flow or the pressure that the turbine requires for generating full loadNOTE:BMCR WILL BE MORE COMPARED TO TMCR


What causes turbines to spin in hydroelectric power?

Turbines in hydroelectric power are spun by the force of flowing water from a dam or reservoir. The water flowing through the dam exerts pressure on the turbine blades, causing them to rotate. This mechanical energy is then converted into electricity by a generator connected to the turbine.

Does the volume increase in each turbine stage?

The volume increases in each turbine stage as the expanding steam passes through the turbine blades. This expansion of steam causes an increase in volume and a corresponding decrease in pressure and temperature.


What is intermediate pressure turbine?

Some varieties of gas turbine engines (e.g. RR Trent and RB211) have 3 concentric rotating shafts. Each shaft connects a compressor with a turbine. The low pressure compressor, or fan, is driven by the low pressure turbine. The high pressure compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. Between the low and high pressure compressors there is an intermediate pressure compressor and, guess what... it's driven by the intermediate pressure turbine.


What does steam do to a turbine?

Steam (under pressure) comes into contact with the blades of the turbine through which it is flowing and, by the direct application of force, causes the blades to move, turning the turbine shaft. The turbine coverts the thermal energy of the steam into (rotating) mechanical energy. Surf on over to our friends at Wikipedia using the provided link and get more info. Oh, and check out the pics! Answer it depends what type of turbine one is using types of steam turbine 1 impulse turbine 2 reaction turbine in 1 st one steam is completely expanded inside nozzle and all pressure energy get converted in to kinetic energy using this impulse force turbine runs. in 2nd steam is multiple stage blades are used where high pressure superheated steam gets expanded inside the turbine in each stage and after each stage velocity of steam increases. very high temperature superheated steam is reaquired because it has very high specific volume which helps in reducing mass flow rate of steam.
