steam turbine and blades
Types of steam turbine:
There are two main types
1. Impulse steam turbine
2. Reaction steam turbine
Impulse steam turbine:
The basic idea of an impulse turbine is that
a jet of steam from a fixed nozzle pushes
against the rotor blades and impels them
forward.
The velocity of steam is twice as fast as the
velocity of blade.
Pressure drops take place in the fixed blade
(nozzle).
The single stage impulse turbine:
The turbine consists of a single rotor to which
impulse blades are attached.
The steam is fed through one or several
convergent nozzles.
If high velocity of steam is allowed to flow
through one row of moving blades.
It produces a rotor speed of about 30000 rpm
which is too high for practical use.

Component of impulse steam turbine:
Main components are
1. Casing
2. Rotor
3. Blades
4. Stop and control valve
5. Oil befell, steam befell
6. governor
7. Bearing(general and thrust bearing)
8. Gear box(epicyclic gear box)
9. Oil pumps
