Condensing steam turbines are most commonly found in thermal power plants. In a condensing steam turbine, the maximum amount of energy is extracted from the steam. This is achieved by...

Steam turbines account for more than half of the world’s electricity production in power plants around the world and will continue to be the dominant force in electricity power generation...

An effective way to increase energy efficiency is to recover waste heat. The process industry mainly consumes two types of energy. Fossil fuel to generate process heat and electric energy...

The modern Steam Turbine was invented in 1884 by Charles Parsons and in 1980 Carl G. P. de Laval designed a high-speed small reaction turbine that worked at about 40,000...

On-site power generation might be an appealing option for buying power from your local electric provider for both large and small enterprises. On-site generation can be employed in either a...

Cogeneration means combined heat and power (CHP). Cogeneration is defined as the sequential generation of two different forms of useful energy from a single primary energy source. It produces electricity...

A governor is the component of the steam turbine control system that regulates the rotational speed in response to changing load conditions. The governor output signal manipulates the position of...

The rotor is statically and dynamically balanced when it is assembled with blades. Each bladed disc is individually balanced prior to assembly for built-up rotors.Static balance means that the weight...
