"Our focus for this application is the point where the rotating shaft exits the steam turbine casing. At this point, atmospheric air is on one side of the casing and high or low- pressure steam is on the other side. High-pressure steam exists at one end of the turbine and steam under vacuum exists at the other end. Seals are used to keep the steam in and the air out, however some leakage occurs. If this leakage went unchecked, the moisture would create a humid, dripping environment resulting in rust of the equipment. Also, air would get into the turbine casing and reduce the condenser vacuum, and thus reduce the efficiency of the overall cycle."

What else can I help you with?
What are the different types of steam engines?
Depends on how you want to catigorize them ... mobile or stationary piston or turbine condensing or non-condensing and weither the power comes from the steam pressure or from the vacumm you get when you condence the steam.
Any machine that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy?
-- steam turbine -- hydroelectric turbine -- wind turbine -- hand-crank generator I think even the nuclear power plants do that ... they use the heat from the reactor core to boil water, then run it through a steam turbine to generate the electric power.
How does steam conduct electricity?
Steam generates electricity by spinning turbines located within electromagnetic fields. The steam can be generated by heating water using many types of fuels, such as coal, gas, and oil, or through the heat generated from controlled nuclear reactions.
How do you recover geothermal energy?
After drilling into the Earth to the heat, it is used to turn water to steam, to turn a turbine.
What is the difference between combined cycle and cogeneration?
In Cogeneration Plant : The generated steam in boiler is used for both power generation & process heating, thereby reducing the condenstion losses compared to thermal power plant. In combined cycle first is gas turbine , rather than wasting the flue gas from gas turbine, we are sending it into boiler and again generating steam for running steam turbine. Both the ways we are increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant
Lube oil has three uses what are they in a steam turbine?
1. For lubrication the bearings 2. For controlling the turbine 3. For sealing
What is work of gland steam cooler in steam power plant?
gland steam cooler is used to cool steam of gland sealing comes from turbine
What is a gland condensor on a steam turbine?
A gland condenser on a steam turbine is a component designed to manage the exhaust steam and maintain a vacuum in the turbine's sealing system. It collects steam that leaks from the turbine's gland seals, condensing it back into water to reduce steam loss and improve overall efficiency. By maintaining a vacuum, the gland condenser helps optimize turbine performance and prevents air ingress, which can reduce efficiency and increase operational issues.
What is the Basic concept of gland sealing system in a steam turbine?
The basic concept of gland sealing is law of pressure difference.(high pressure fluid prevent the flow of low pressure fluid)
What is the role of the steam in a nuclear power plant?
It Powers the Huge turbine that produces electricity.
What the function of gland steam condenser?
Gland staem condenser is meant for condensing the steam whichwas used for sealing the LABYRINTH GLAND and reusing it d cycle. It is then passed through d drain cooler and LP heaters and so on......
Why extraction taken from steam turbine?
Why extractions are taken out from steam turbine.
What is the role of sealing steam?
Sealing steam is as the name says - it provides a seal for turbines that exhaust into a vaccum condenser, hence creating a better vaccum, and preventing non condensables from entering the system sealing is of two type say positive sealing and negative sealing used for perffect sealing positive used in hp side and negative in lp side.
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 are the preventive maintenance of steam turbine?
The preventive maintenance of steam turbine mainly entails frequent servicing of the parts. This will ensure a smooth performance of the steam turbine.
What is heat rate of steam turbine How to calculate heat rate of steam turbine?
manish
What type of cycle used in steam turbine?
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
