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

very important part to play throughout the modern industrial world. Rotating machinery is used in many applications such as Turbo machinery‚ Power stations‚ Machine tools‚ Medical equipment‚ etc. Failure of machinery in applications such as aero engines‚ turbo-machines‚ space vehicles‚ etc. creates enormous repair costs and more importunately may put human life in danger. Rotor dynamics is a collective terms for rotating machines and can be split into the sub groups that make it up. These are rotating

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Steam Turbine is a type of turbo machine. Turbo machine are those devices in which energy is transferred either to or from‚ a continuously flowing fluid by the dynamic action of one or more moving blade rows. In steam turbine energy is transferred from fluid to blade rows and is decreasing along the flow directions. It is power producing thermodynamics device. Steam turbine converts heat energy of steam (at high pressure and temperature) into mechanical

A Pelton wheel‚ also called a Pelton turbine‚ is one of the most efficient types of water turbines. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton (1829-1908) in the 1870s‚ and is an impulse machine‚ meaning that it uses Newton’s second law to extract energy from a jet of fluid. Contents * 1 Function * 2 Applications * 3 See also * 4 External links [edit] Function The pelton wheel turbine is a tangential flow impulse turbine‚ water flows along the tangent to the path of the

INTRODUCTION In hydroelectric power plant‚ turbine been used to generate power from reservoir of water. Turbine been selected by their characteristic curves based on the potential energy available in the water and the amount of power to be generated. Turbine is a type that develops torque by reacting to the pressure or weight of a fluid. The operation of reaction turbine can be describes by the Newton’s third law of motion that is for every action‚ there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this

“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
