THE history of the steam turbine previous to the reign of Parsons, whose first patents were applied for in 1884, may be made out from chapters i. and ii. But descriptions of inventions in the ...

Steam turbines have helped drive a large chunk of our technological development over the last century or so, and they’ll always make for interesting DIY. [Hyperspace Pirate] built a small ...

Steam turbines are some of the most common drives for centrifugal compressors. In chemical plants, steam turbines are widely used, due to the fact that most of these plants need steam or generate it ...

Researchers from MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed an innovative heat engine that uses ...

Also, cost recovery for replacement power associated with the Sherco 3 outage will be need to be considered within the Annual Fuel Clause review process. The Unit 3 steam turbine generator at the ...

In a steam turbine, high-enthalpy (high pressure and temperature) steam is expanded in the nozzles (stationary blades) where the kinetic energy is increased at the expense of pressure energy (increase ...

The majority of the world’s electricity is produced by steam turbines consisting of a cascade of turbine blades designed to optimize the efficient conversion of kinetic steam energy to ...

Steam power anything these days is pretty cool, but rarely have we ever seen such a complex build as this steam powered, remote controlled 1/16th scale tank. [Ian] is an electronics design ...

Specifically excluded from consideration are extraction turbines, automated start up/shutdown systems, turbine supervisory instrumentation, steam bypass systems and turbine water induction prevention ...

There are three types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash, and binary ... But it has some environmental problems. The main concern is the release of hydrogen sulfide, a gas that smells ...

On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source. The heat is then used to boil water to drive a steam turbine that ...

Mr. Tesla maintains that in the turbine which forms the subjprt of this article, he has carried the steam and gas motor a long step forward toward the maximum attainable efficiency, both ...
