What type of cycle used in steam turbine?
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
What type of energy does the steam in a steam turbine have?
It is heat energy. The turbine turns heat energy into mechanical energy.
What are the types of bearings used in a steam turbine?
main two type of bearing used in steam turbine:(1)thrust bearing (2)general bearing
How do turbines work?
A simple turbine.Air is drawn into the engine continuously and compressed by a series of rotating blades. Fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber and burnt increasing the gas temperature to around 1200C.The hot high pressure gas expands through a second set of blades mounted on the same shaft as the compressor blades. The energy of the gas is partially expended powering the compressor, but has a residual energy which is either expended as a hot jet (resulting in thrust) or which drives a further independent set of blades to power a propeller or other device.see http://www.rolls-royce.com/education/schools/how_things_work/journey02/index.html
What is the role of gland condenser in steam turbine?
gland condenser is a type of condenser in which steam which is coming from d turbine is used for the heating of demineralised water and then this water is sent to the boiler so boiling of hot water consumes less coal and thus we get benifit of it
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.
What type of blades Parson's reaction turbine has?
only moving blades
What type of cycle used in steam turbine?
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
How does a steam engine differ from a steam turbine?
Technically a steam turbine is a particular type of steam engine. A classic steam engine usually refers to a reciprocating steam engine, which uses a piston and crank arrangement, where pressurised steam (from the boiler) forces the piston through its stroke, producing output power. A steam turbine produces power with pressurized steam expanding to high velocity, and impinging on turbine blades which produce rotational output power. A steam turbine can be considered similar to a windmill, although steam turbines typicaly rotate much faster, and often have many stages of steam expansion within a single machine.
Does a steam turbine convert heat energy to kinetic energy?
When one basically sees the flow system in a power plant, then following formula for is-entropic process is important: h+(V2/2) = constant heat energy is related to 'h'(enthalpy). The conversion of 'h' to 'V'(velocity) takes place in a CD (convergent divergent)nozzle, where the steam expands and 'h' is converted into kinetic energy of steam (in turn steam gets a huge momentum)which turn the steam turbine. So basically the kinetic energy for the steam is developed in CD nozzle itself (from decreasing enthalpy which was generated due to heat energy in super heater or the boilers), which turns the turbine.
What type of energy does the steam in a steam turbine have?
It is heat energy. The turbine turns heat energy into mechanical energy.
Which type coupling used in steam turbine?
Membrane-type flexible coupling is used in steam turbines.
How much does a small steam turbine cost?
That would depend on the type and size of turbine.
How do you make electricity out of steam?
There is a type of electrical generating machine called a steam turbine. Steam is used to make the turbine spin. The turbine contains magnets, and the moving magnetic fields, as they intersect wires, generate electricity.
What are the types of bearings used in a steam turbine?
main two type of bearing used in steam turbine:(1)thrust bearing (2)general bearing
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.
What type of electric energy turns a turnbine?
The turbine is turned by steam and is connected to a generator
