Terry was the name of a steam turbine manufacturer. The company was bought by Dresser-Rand some years ago. I don't think they sell this model now, only spare parts.
The basic design is that of an impulse turbine (as opposed to a reaction turbine). The unique feature with Terry is the nozzles feed steam radially inward to a single rotating wheel with blading on the circumference. The blades are semi-circular so the flow path is spiral between the blades and the stationary nozzles. They are arranged in sets of an inlet nozzle with 4 or 5 reversing nozzles before the spent steam is exhausted. The number of nozzle sets depends on the steam rate.

How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?
Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.
What is a reaction steam turbine?
Steam turbine is when a device that has the extract thermal energy from pressurized steam. It is used to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.
Explain why throttling is a wasteful process and how the turbine can be used to reduce steam pressure for process work?
a turbine would equally reduce the pressure and gain output work whilst mere throttling would not be of any benefit
What is HP and LP turbine expansion?
HP Turbine is High Performance Turbine LP Turbine is Low Performance Turbine
What is the defferences between a steam turbine gas turbine?
STEAM TURBINE is a machine for generating mechanical power in rotary motion from the energy of steam at temperature and pressure above that of an available sink. A turbine operated by highly pressurized steam directed against vanes on a rotor.HEAT ENGINE is a physical or theoretical device that converts thermal anergy to mechnical out put.....it converts heat energy into work.
What is the difference between turbine and machine?
the machine is the one that operates or makes the turbine work. the machine is the one that operates or makes the turbine work.
How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?
Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.
How do windmills create energy or how does the generator work inside one?
Basically, the wind moves the fins that move the turbine. The turbine then creates electrical energy. (See how does a turbine work)
Why the temperature and the pressure of gas are decreasing after flowing out from turbine?
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.
What is a turbine working principles?
turbine is working on priciple of change of momentum. change of moentum result in to work.
How does the suckers on starfish work?
Jet turbine technology
What does turbine do?
A turbine rotates as a fluid flows through it, and depending on the type of turbine, converts its rotational energy into certain types of useful work. Learn more by following the link I provided.
What is the technical reason for deterioration in performance of a gas turbine when the ambient temperature rises?
As the surrounding/ambient temperature increases, the temp of air entering the air compressor increases which means that the it's specific volume of air increases. Since the work of compressor = delta pressure x specific volume of air, then as the specific volume of air increases the work input of compressor increases and this is a problem because the total out put power of the turbine = work of the turbine - work of the compressor, so as the work of compressor increases, the total out put work of the gas turbine decreases. And that's why the efficiency of gas turbine is better in winter than in summer.
Why is it advantageous to use steam as hot as possible in a steam driven turbine?
in practice;the steam MUST be in the superheated region before entering the turbine.superheated steam means there is not moister in the steam (dry steam)the reason is moister will damage the turbine blades.in theory;the hotter the temperature the better the efficiency (look up vapor power cycles)work done by the turbine = the enthalpy (at temp. of steam entering the turbine)- the enthalpy at the turbine exist.the efficiency = work done by the turbine / the heat input.
What makes a wind turbine work other than wind?

What is a reaction steam turbine?
Steam turbine is when a device that has the extract thermal energy from pressurized steam. It is used to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.
How does a turbine and generator work?
The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.
