Course Description
There are two main types of steam turbine, impulse and reaction. The principles are different, but the processes construction are somewhat similar. In either type steam is caused to impinge on blades carried on a rotating part. The high speeds and stresses involved necessitate great strength and accuracy of manufacture. Since Sir Charles A. Parsons produced in 1884 his first practicable steam turbine, enormous advances have been made with this form of prime mover. The generation of electricity on a rapidly growing scale all over the world during recent years has led to the almost universal use of steam turbines for the driving of electric generators where water power is unobtainable. The objective of this module is to present the major features of steam turbine construction, and support systems.
