Hydraulic turbines are Machines that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy runs an electric generator directly coupled to the turbine's shaft. The generator generates electric power, sometimes known as hydroelectric power. Generall…

The gas turbine power plant is also called a combustion turbine power plant . The gas turbine is a type of continuous combustion, an internal combustion engine. There are three main components in a gas turbine: An upstream rotating gas compressor; A down…

The various advantages of using the steam turbine over a steam engine are as follows: Steam turbines require less shaft workspace than steam engines. The absence of various links, such as a piston, piston rod, crosshead, etc., makes the mechanism simple. The steam t…

A simple open-cycle gas turbine consists of a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine, as shown in the figure below. The compressor takes in ambient fresh air and raises its pressure. Heat is added to the air in the combustion chamber by burning the fuel and ra…
