A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. 1.Steam Turbines 2. Wind Turbines 3. Water Turbines 4. Gas Turbines It is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency through the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam

σ_f=(CK_1c)/√(πa_c ) If the objective to maximize the allowable stress‚ then‚ the material indices is simply M=K_1c CES (Cambridge Engineering Selector) is utilized to plot a diagram of fracture toughness vs. Young’s modulus. In this plot‚ only material with K1c >15MPam0.5 are considered. The same plot is used to solve part b) and c). For part a)‚ material of highest K1c is to be chosen. According to the plot‚ the best material for wire ropes is low alloy steel. 2. Energy-limited design – spring

“A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush‚ who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years‚ which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn’t rise a great deal afterwards‚ this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

HYDRAULIC TURBINES Meaning of the term ‘Hydraulic’ • The working fluid is a liquid or a gas?? ANSWER – WORKING FLUID IS A LIQUID. TURBINE – WORKING PRINCIPLE • In turbines the pressure energy is converted into mechanical energy(which is further converted into electrical energy). WORKING PRINCIPLE OF PUMPS it is just the reverse of the above‚ that is‚ the mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy. OUR FOCUS OF STUDY • Working of various types of hydraulic turbines. • Working

Feasibility of Residential Wind Turbines As Americans work to reduce fossil fuel dependence and look to more environmentally friendly energy sources‚ the use of wind energy technology has become the fastest growing segment of the energy market. The feasibility of residential wind turbines mainly comes down to wind resource‚ economic feasibility‚ and consumer acceptance. The use of residential wind turbines is certainly feasible in some areas‚ however; I do not believe they are feasible on a wide-scale
