3. Steam Turbine
The steam turbine is a rotary
mehanical device that converts the
thermal energy of the steam (high
pressure and temperature) into useful
mechanical energy on a rotating
output shaft.

This shaft is connected to a generator
through which power is produced.
The steam turbine is steam driven
rotary engine.

4. Principle of steam
turbine
The steam energy is
converted mechanical work
by expansion through the
turbine.
Expansion takes place through:
1. a series of fixed blades(nozzles)
2. moving blades.
In each row fixed blade and
moving blade are called stage

8. the motive power in a steam
turbine is obtained by the
rate of change in moment of
momentum of a high velocity
jet of steam impinging on a
curved blade which is free to
rotate.

10. Classifications of Steam Turbines:
In impulse turbines, the
rotor blades, shaped like
buckets, convert kinetic
energy into shaft rotation.
No pressure drop occurs
across the rotor
Impulse
(Delaval turbine)
Impulse Reaction turbine
(Parsons turbine)
In the impulse-reaction
turbine, the rotor blades
charnel themselves are
assuaged to be nozzles and
so a pressure drop occurs
across the moving blade.

30. The prototype of the steam
turbine made by de Greek
mathematician Heron of
Alexandria in 120 B.C., which
was a sphere with bent pipes
attached to its circumference
which caused the sphere to
spin in reaction to the steam
expelled from them.

31. In 1878, a Swedish engineer, Carl G. P. de Laval developed a
simple impulse turbine, using a convergent-divergent
(supersonic) nozzle which ran the turbine to a maximum
speed of 100,000 rpm.
In 1897 he constructed a velocity-compounded impulse
turbine (a two-row axial nobine with a row of guide vane
stators between them.
Auguste Bateau in France started experiments with a de
Laval turbine in 1894, and developed the pressure
compounded impulse turbine in the year 1900.
In the USA , Charles G. Curtis patented the velocity
compounded de Lavel turbine in 1896 and transferred his
rights to General Electric in 1901.
In England , Charles A. Parsons developed a multi-stage axial
flow reaction turbine in 1884.

34. of these religion-oriented devices was the
“automatic door opener” that was designed for use
as part of a spiritual service. Using a hidden heat
source that created steam pressure, and
implemented with a secretive system of ropes and
pulleys, the doors that separated the faithful from
the temple’s holy altar would initially be closed;
then, when pressure was sufficient, the doors
would mysteriously open as if under their own
power – or, more to the point, initiated by a divine
force.

the electric generators
in thermal and nuclear
power plants to
produce electricity.
