Study Notes
Condensing Turbines
- Vacuum is obtained by a sudden drop in pressure and removal of non-condensable gases.
Cross Compound Steam Turbines
- Cross-compound steam turbines were once used in marine ships before the introduction of two-stroke diesel engines.
Steam Reaching Turbine Blades
- When steam reaches turbine blades, the type of force responsible for moving turbine blades is axial force.
Centrifugal Compressors
- Centrifugal compressors are used for higher pressure ratios and lower flow rates.
- In gas transmission applications, centrifugal compressors with 3700 kW have a speed of around 14000 RPM.
Steam Turbine Quiz
Non-Condensing Steam Turbines
- Non-condensing steam turbines are also called back-pressure steam turbines.
Condensing Turbines
- Condensing turbines are used for central power generation.
Classification of Steam Turbines
- Steam turbines are classified based on the type of blades, exhausting condition, and type of steam flow.
Size Comparison
- Gas turbine power plants are smaller in size compared to steam power plants.
Thermal Efficiency Improvement
- The thermal efficiency of open cycle gas turbines can be improved using intercooling.
