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.


How do boilers get energy from turbine?

Usually boilers provide steam to power a steam turbine. The turbine could provide electricity to run any pumps in the boiler. But boilers get their energy from a heat source.

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 do generator convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?

Yes,the mechanical energy of steam can turn the shaft of a generator thru the steam turbine in which the steam acts on its blade to produce rotational motion to transform mechanical energy. Yes, the mechanical energy of steam can turn the shaft of a generator thru steam turbine as the driver, because the steam will acts on the tubine blade to produce rotational motion to transform mechanical energy and elctrical energy as well.
