Though Steam Turbines might sound like a technical term, most of the things we do everyday would be impossible to do without this wonderful technology in power generation. Nature does not have sockets from where power plants pull out electricity to run your laptop or charge your iPod! Energy needs to be converte... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7082/How-Does-A-Steam-Turbine-Work?... A steam turbine, as we see from its name, uses steam to rotate its blades. The rotary motion of the blades is used to rotate the armature of the generator, and the movement of the armature in a magnetic field results in the production of a current (electricity) in the armature! The steam turbine has come a long wa... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7083/How-Does-An-Impulse-Turbine-Work?... The impulse turbine was one of the basic steam turbines. It involved striking of the blades by a stream or a jet of high pressure steam, which caused the blades of the turbine to rotate. The direction of the jet was perpendicular to the axis of the blade. It was realized that the impulse turbine was not very effic... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7084/How-Does-a-Reaction-Turbine-Work?... A reaction turbine also rotates its blades due to the impending pressurized steam, but the steam does not strike the blades perpendicular, as in an impulse turbine. The steam is directed to flow along the blades, thus causing the blades to rotate because of the reaction force more than the impulse force. The react... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7085/How-does-an-Impulse-Reaction-Turbine-Work?... The impulse reaction turbine, a combination of the aforementioned designs, was a turbine whose blades rotated because of both, the impulse force of direct thrust on the blades by the steam, as well as the guiding thrust on the blades because of the unique blade design of the reaction turbine. Therefore, the effici... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7086/What-Goes-Into-The-Construction-Of-Steam-Turbines?... A steam turbine basically has a mechanical side, and an electrical side to it. The mechanical components include the moving parts (mechanical), such as the rotor, the moving blades, the fixed blades, and stop valves, while the electrical side consists of the generator and other electrical components to actually co... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7087/Modern-Steam-Turbine-Applications... The Steam turbines of today are mostly used in the power production field. Steam turbines are used to efficiently produce electricity from solar, coal and nuclear power plants owing to the harmlessness of its working fluid, water/steam, and its wide availability. Modern steam turbines have come a long way in incre... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7088/A-History-of-Steam-Turbines... The Steam Turbine is one of the most important inventions in the world, as far as engineering is concerned! Steam turbines are devices that convert the mechanical energy of high pressure steam or water vapor, into electrical energy by the use of a generator. H... 2009-04-17 http://www.steam-turbine.com/articles/7321/What-are-the-Basic-Types-of-Steam-Turbines?...
