What is a steam turbine?
It is an engine.A steam turbine is a heat engine that uses the expansion of steam passing through stationary nozzles and blades on a shaft to turn the shaft. The steam can move through the turbine axially (one end of shaft to the other end), radially (shaft to outer casing), or tangentially (around the outer edges of the turbine wheel). In an impulse turbine, the steam is expanded in nozzles and pushes the blades. In a reaction turbine the steam is expanded in the nozzles AND in the blades, the reaction of the expansion of the steam pushes away from the blades spinning the wheel in the process. The expansion of the steam is necessary to increase its velocity through the turbine.
How do you lower turbine differential expansion?
by controlling main steam flow
What engines did the titanic use?
Two triple expansion steam engines and an exhaust turbine
Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the 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.
What to do about turbine rotor differential expansion?
my LP turbine differential expansion increase ,when rated gland steam temperature maintain.

What is meant by axial displacement in steam turbine?
Axial displacement is the motion along the shaft of the turbine caused by the force exerted by the steam or by the thermal expansion of the shaft and casing.
How do you lower turbine differential expansion?
by controlling main steam flow
What was Titanic powered by?
Two triple expansion steam engines and a small turbine
Turbine differential expansion should be positive or negative?
Turbine diff expansion can be positive or negative and depends on the convention used. The usual convention is that positive expansion is rotor expanding faster (hotter) than fixed components. Expansion is dictated by steam flow, gland steam temperatures etc
What engines did the titanic use?
Two triple expansion steam engines and an exhaust turbine
Why turbine blades are largenr in size at exhaust end?
Because the steam expands as it passes through the turbine. The steam velocity through the turbine is constant from steam chest to exhaust hood (though it changes in each stage). Thus, the space needed for the steam to expand needs to be expanded to correspond with that expansion of the steam.
Does the volume increase in each turbine stage?
The volume increases in each turbine stage as the expanding steam passes through the turbine blades. This expansion of steam causes an increase in volume and a corresponding decrease in pressure and temperature.
What is casing expansion of steam turbine?
casing and shaft are made of alloy steel they are supposed to expand when heated (at/2 *length of turbine.).wherea is coefficient expansion of material.t=finaltemperature ( of casing or shat)-ambienttemperaturel=length of turbine in meter
Why LP turbine diaphragm breaks?
Lp turbine diaphragm breaks due to positive pressure inside the condenser because of steam expansion.
What is the difference between back pressure and absolute pressure in steam turbine?
Back pressure is the small amount of vacuum that is created when the used steam condenses from the turbine back into re-usable water.
