Do you know how the steam turbine is such a vast improvement over the reciprocating steam engine? This 1-hour interactive, online course describes the basic principles of steam turbines. Vector diagrams are used to explain the dynamics involved in impulse and reaction turbine stages. Several pictorial presentations are included, which clearly illustrate the various stages and turbine configurations. Also, classifications by stage design, steam supply and exhaust conditions, casing and shaft arrangement, direction of steam flow, and numbers of exhaust stages are presented and described.
