Hood spray is injection of water near the outlet part of the last stage of the low pressure turbine to prevent overheating of the turbine exhaust hood and blades when running at partial (less than 35%) load). This phenomena is caused by partially stalled steam flow at the blade roots (steam is recirculating with turbulence at those parts and heating up its self and the blades due to friction losses)

Exhaustb hood spray in turbine?
It's the connection between the steam outlet of the turbine and the condenser to which it is attached.
Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.
What is heat rate of steam turbine How to calculate heat rate of steam turbine?
manish
What is positive axial displacement of steam turbine?
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
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.
