Making Water Turbines Most Energy Efficient How does a wind turbine’s output vary with wind pressure (height of water)‚ the flow rate‚ size of the motor‚ and type of blade? Introduction There are many types of energy used today: Fossil fuels‚ coal‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydrogen energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ wind energy‚ and biofuels and biomass. Non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and coal are diminishing since it cannot be recycled‚ unlike wind energy

The Steam Turbine‚ Part I The Steam Turbine by Sir CHARLES A. PARSONS‚ K.C.B. Best viewed with window no wider than the above line. THE STEAM TURBINE In modern times the progress of science has been phenomenally rapid. The old methods of research have given place to new. The almost infinite complexity of things has been recognized and methods‚ based on a co-ordination of data derived from accurate observation and tabulation of facts‚ have proved most successful in unravelling the secrets of

HYDRAULIC TURBINES Meaning of the term ‘Hydraulic’ • The working fluid is a liquid or a gas?? ANSWER – WORKING FLUID IS A LIQUID. TURBINE – WORKING PRINCIPLE • In turbines the pressure energy is converted into mechanical energy(which is further converted into electrical energy). WORKING PRINCIPLE OF PUMPS it is just the reverse of the above‚ that is‚ the mechanical energy is converted into pressure energy. OUR FOCUS OF STUDY • Working of various types of hydraulic turbines. • Working

1.INTRODUCTION Quasi turbine is a zero vibration continuous combustion rotary engine having four faces articulated rotor with a free and accessible centre rotating without vibration nor dead time and producing a strong torque at low rpm under a variety of modes and fuels. The quasi turbine is also an optimization theory for extremely compact efficient engine concept. It is a new engine concept from Canada which offers a design similar to that

A Pelton wheel‚ also called a Pelton turbine‚ is one of the most efficient types of water turbines. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton (1829-1908) in the 1870s‚ and is an impulse machine‚ meaning that it uses Newton’s second law to extract energy from a jet of fluid.

DESIGN OF TESLA TURBINE Abstract:- The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine patented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. It is referred to as a bladeless turbine because it uses the boundary layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional turbine. The Tesla turbine is also known as the boundary layer turbine‚ cohesion-type turbine‚ and Prandtl layer turbine (after Ludwig Prandtl). Bioengineering researchers have referred

Introduction to Gas Turbines A turbine is any kind of spinning device that uses the action of a fluid to produce work. Typical fluids are: air‚ wind‚ water‚ steam and helium. Windmills and hydroelectric dams have used turbine action for decades to turn the core of an electrical generator to produce power for both industrial and residential consumption. Simpler turbines are much older‚ with the first known appearance dating to the time of ancient Greece. In the history of energy conversion‚ however
