Steam turbine power plant

What is the main function of a steam turbine?

• Pump water

• Generate electricity

• Burn fuel

• Store energy

What type of energy is converted in a steam turbine?

• Thermal to mechanical

• Electrical to thermal

• Kinetic to potential

• Mechanical to thermal

Which component heats the water in a power plant?

• Condenser

• Compressor

• Boiler

• Generator

What does the condenser do in a steam power plant?

• Converts steam to water

• Burns fuel

• Increases steam pressure

• Stores steam

What component is used to condense exhaust steam back into water?

• Generator

• Condenser

• Boiler

• Steam drum

Which equipment increases the pressure of feedwater before it enters the boiler?

• Steam turbine

• Feedwater pump

• Economizer

• Condenser

What does the generator do in a steam turbine power plant?

• Converts steam to water

• Produces electricity from mechanical energy

• Stores electrical energy

• Heats the water

Which of the following are the two main types of steam turbine blades used in power plants?

• Fixed and moving blades

• Axial and radial blades

• Impulse and reaction blades

• Steel and titanium blades

In an impulse turbine, how is energy transferred to the rotor?

• By changing the pressure of steam across moving blades

• By converting steam pressure into velocity in stationary nozzles

• By condensing steam directly in the rotor

• By frictional contact between blades

What is a key characteristic of a reaction turbine blade?

• It operates entirely on high-pressure steam impact

• It uses fixed nozzles for velocity conversion only

• It generates torque through both pressure and velocity changes across blades

• It has no moving parts
