STEAM TURBINE
It is a thermodynamic machine.
Principle: Pressure energy is converted in to kinetic energy and get mechanical work done.
Steam turbines are used broadly in Thermal, Nuclear power plants for electric power generation.
Major Classification:
By Working Priciple:
- Impulse Turbine
- Reaction Turbine
- Impulse Reaction Turbine
By Exhaust Condition:
Condensing Turbine - Condenser - Vacuum - Ejector
Non-Condensing Turbine (Back Pressure Turbine) - No Condenser - No Vacuum - No Ejector
By Steam Flow:
Single Flow
Axial Thrust is huge
Double Flow
Axial Thrust is balanced
