*STEAM TURBINE*

.

*”TURBINE JOURNALS”*

.

from latin turbo –>
(“a vortex”)

*related to the greek τύρβη (/ tyrbē)*
(meaning “turbulence”)

.

-a turbine is a ‘rotary mechanical device’ that extracts ‘energy’ from a ‘fluid flow’ and converts it into useful ‘work’-

.

(the work produced by a ‘turbine’ can be used for generating ‘electrical power’ when combined with a ‘generator’ or producing ‘thrust’, as in the case of ‘jet engines’)

(a ‘turbine’ is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached)

(‘moving fluid’ acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the ‘rotor’)

(early turbine examples are ‘windmills’ + ‘waterwheels’)

((‘gas’ / ‘steam’ / ‘water’) turbines have a casing around the blades that contains and controls the ‘working fluid’)

(credit for invention of the ‘steam turbine’ is given both to british engineer ‘sir charles parsons (‘1854’ – ‘1931’) for invention of the ‘reaction turbine’, and to swedish engineer ‘gustaf de laval’ (‘1845’ – ‘1913’) for invention of the ‘impulse turbine’)

(‘modern steam turbines’ frequently employ both ‘reaction’ + ‘impulse’ in the same unit, typically varying the ‘degree’ of ‘reaction’ + ‘impulse’ from the ‘blade root’ to its ‘periphery’)

(the word “turbine” was coined in ‘1822’ by the french mining engineer ‘claude burdin from the latin turbo (or ‘vortex’) in a memo, “des turbines hydrauliques ou machines rotatoires à grande vitesse”, which he submitted to the “académie royale des sciences” in ‘paris’)

.

*”benoit fourneyron” (a former student of ‘claude burdin’) built the first practical ‘water turbine’*
