Steam Turbine

http://tectrapro.com 3D Training animation showing Steam flow from the HRSG unit to the Steam Turbine. This is a part of a much larger on-the-job training course delivered with 3D and 2D training elements - either site specific or generic.

The thermal energy to mechanical? I thought it was the steam pressure that was converted to mechanical?

[belchnasty]

It's a turBINE! thicko!

[jiajun1983]

the generator will need excitation in order to produce magnetic field.

@antwan0211 I'm not an expert, but I'll try to answer your question. A steam turbine is a mechanical device that is configured in such as way that it rotates as steam pressure is passed thru it. This rotation is used to drive an electric generator (electric generators need movement to produce electrical current flow).

Why does he say turbin?

[antwan0211]

whats a steam turbin?

[memadmax69]

@BigBlue0425 They are trying to minimize horizontal(axial) movement of the shaft by creating a "tugging" effect of the shaft. They have the HP and IP, LP turbines tugging on each other, thereby reducing the load on the thrust bearing by moving torsion effects onto the shaft in between the HP and IP turbines.

"stationary or diaphram blades"

Uhh, no, it's called a stator, no matter what kind of steam turbine you have....

@rrosasvette a power turbine is an attachment on a gas turbine so you can extract mechanical energy from the gas turbine engine. it has it has one stage consisting of usually one or two sets of rotor blades to extract the energy from the exhaust. it has a shaft that then usually goes through a gear box and into a generator. This can be used to to drive a generator to produce electricity. I assume most of the energy lost in a gas turbine engine is lost in heat so that is why they are not used.

@117nathanmyers yeah they should use steam power...that would probably be very efficient.
