Types of Pumps and Turbines
A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.
1.Steam Turbines
2. Wind Turbines
3. Water Turbines
4. Gas Turbines
It is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft.
The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency through the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam, which results in a closer approach to the ideal reversible process.
APPLICATIONS:
- The steam turbine system is used to create over 80 percent of the world's electricity supply. - Steam turbines were also used to create motion in locomotives. The kinetic energy of the turbines was converted into turning force to drive the locomotive wheels.
- Steam ships use the same principle as locomotion production to power a ship. The raw materials for the steam are burnt and the heat produced is used to create steam from a water boiler. The steam turns the turbine and the kinetic energy is used to turn the propellers of the ship and move the ship through the water.
A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind, also called wind energy into mechanical energy; a process known.
APPLICATIONS:
- . If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called wind turbine or wind power plant
- If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery, such as for grinding grain or pumping water, the device is called a windmill or wind pump.
- Similarly, it may be called wind charger when it is used to charge batteries.
A water turbine converts energy in the form of falling water into rotating shaft power. Flowing water is directed on to the blades of a turbine runner, creating a force on the blades. Since the runner is spinning, the force acts through a distance.
In this way, energy is transferred from the
