Turbine

Turbine: A turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. The simplest turbines have one moving part, a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades, or the blades react to the flow, so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Types of turbine: 1.       Steam turbine 2.       Gas turbine 3.       Water turbine 4.       Wind turbine 5.       Transonic turbine 6.       Ceramic turbine Steam turbine: Steam turbine is such type of turbine where steam is used as working fluid. When steam is injected over the blades it rotates at a certain speed. Since steam is used for rotation it is called steam turbine. Generally it is used at steam turbine power station. In Ashuganj power station, steam turbines are used for steam turbine units. All the turbines are manufactured by BBC (Germany). Main parts of steam turbine:                 Ø   Ro
