Steam Turbine Quiz

It is the component of the steam turbine that minimizes steam leakage in the annular space between the diaphragm and shaft.

What type of turbine allows steam to flow along the axis of the shaft and is commonly used in modern steam power plants?

What is the maximum power capacity (in MW) a single steam turbine unit can typically develop?

What is the principle on which a steam turbine operates, involving the change in momentum of a high-velocity steam jet?

What method is used to control the high speed of impulse turbines and improve their efficiency by reducing excessive rotor speeds and minimizing energy waste?

Identify the type of turbine that reduces the high velocity of steam in stages by using multiple rows of moving blades separated by fixed guide blades, all mounted on the same shaft.

Identify the type of turbine that reduces steam pressure in stages by expanding it step by step through multiple stages, each consisting of a nozzle and a row of moving blades arranged in series on the same shaft.

What is the main reason that pressure and velocity compounded impulse turbines are now uncommon?

What is the typical range of steam consumption for large turbines, in kg per kWh?

What type of loss in steam turbines results from throttling and reduces enthalpy?
