A steam turbine converts the output from a steam generator into Shaft work
A steam generator supplies high-pressure, high-temperature steam, which is transformed into shaft work by a steam turbine.
Working:
- Simply said, a steam turbine operates by heating water to incredibly high temperatures until it is transformed to steam using a heat source (gas, coal, nuclear, or solar energy).
- That steam expands and cools as it passes by the turning turbine blades. Thus, in the rotating turbine's blades, the steam's potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
- Steam turbines are particularly well adapted for driving electrical generators for the creation of electrical power since they produce rotary motion.
- The generator, which has an axle connecting it to the turbines, generates energy by creating a magnetic field that induces an electric current.
- Steam turbines use a lot of energy, so it is necessary to have control systems that can control their speed, the flow of steam, and the system temperature.
- Being able to modify the flow of steam and overall energy output is essential because the majority of steam turbines are found in big power plants that need to be able to handle on-demand loads using Shaft work.
