Which material used in manufacturing of turbine blades?
composites
How is the turbine rotated in a power station?
In a power station that uses fossil fuels, The fuel is burnt and the heat used to generate steam. The steam is then injected onto the turbine blades, making it turn.In Hydro elcectric stations, special water turbines are used. Water pressure is used to turn the turbine blades directly.
What material steam turbine used for?
he use bronze he use wood.
What source of energy is used to make a large generator turn?
It is usually a steam turbine that powers a large generator, in which case it is the mechanical force caused by high pressure steam impinging on the turbine blades.
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 cycle used in steam turbine?
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
Why is multistage used in steam turbine?
multistage is used because the expansion of high pressure steam will be gradual and as a result the rotor wont vibrate.suppose we have only 1 stage of blades in a turbine, hence all the steam will expand in the given stage and the speed of the rotor will be in high range around 30,000m/s, which is very difficult to control and operate the turbine.
Are steam engines and steam turbines the same thing?
Usually no, a steam engine usually refers to a system using steam pressure to make pistons in cylinders slide, while a steam turbine refers to a system using steam pressure to make turbine blades spin. However "steam engine" is often used loosely to refer to either.
How electricity is produced in a power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, the heat energy released from fission is used to change water into steam. the steam then turns the blades of a turbine to generate electricity.
Where thrust bearing located in steam turbine?
The thrust pads will be there at the front or non drive end of the turbine side....These are usually used to limit the axial displacement of the rotor( Means to minimize the movement of rotor axially in order to maintain the axial clearance between the moving blades and the fixed blades of steam turbine rotor).....
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 material is used for steam turbine casing?
13 Cr steel in one of the papers of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries that i read...
