The steam turbine generators used today produce approximately 85% of the electricity in the United States. In a typical turbine, steam flows in at a speed near 100 miles per hour and at temperatures from 400 to 950 degrees Fahrenheit. This course describes the differences between an Impulse and Reaction turbine, why steam turbines are multi-staged, the different types of turbine blade compounding arrangements, or stages and how they relate to turbine efficiency.
•Identify and describe safety hazards associated with the operation of steam turbines
•Describe the theory of operation of turbines
•Identify the major components of a multi-stage steam turbine
•Describe the design of steam turbines
•Explain why steam turbines are multi-staged
•Identify and describe the different stages of a multi- stage steam turbine
