high-pressure turbine
21Water turbine — A water turbine is a rotary engine that takes energy from moving water.Water turbines were developed in the nineteenth century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now they are mostly used for electric power… …
22Francis turbine — The Francis turbine is a type of water turbine that was developed by James B. Francis.It is an inward flow reaction turbine that combines radial and axial flow concepts. Francis turbines are the most common water turbine in use today. They… …
23Kaplan turbine — The Kaplan turbine is a propeller type water turbine that has adjustable blades. It was developed in 1913 by the Austrian professor Viktor Kaplan. The Kaplan turbine was an evolution of the Francis turbine. Its invention allowed efficient power… …
24National Gas Turbine Establishment — Coordinates: 51°16′59″N 0°48′26″W / 51.282957°N 0.807098°W / 51.282957; 0.807098 The National Gas Turbine Establishment …
25Compound turbine — A compound turbine is a steam turbine in which there are two casings, a high pressure casing and a low pressure casing, operating in concert to extract work from a single source of steam. The steam is partially expanded in the high pressure… …
26Shrouded tidal turbine — An emerging tidal stream technology is the shrouded tidal turbine enclosed in a Venturi shaped shroud or duct producing a sub atmosphere of low pressure behind the turbine, allowing the turbine to operate at higher efficiency (than the Betz limit …
27dual-spool gas turbine engine — An axial flow turbine engine with two independent axial flow compressors, each driven by its own stage(s) of turbines. The high pressure, or N2 , compressor is speed governed by the fuel control system. The speed of the low pressure compressor,… …
28intermediate turbine temperature — The temperature taken at a station between high and low pressure turbine wheels …
29low-pressure compressor — The front section of a dual spool compressor, also called an N1 compressor or a low speed compressor. It is driven by the last stage of a turbine. The high pressure compressor is called an N2 compressor …
30Steam Turbine — A device that converts high pressure steam, produced in a boiler, into mechanical energy that can then be used to produce electricity by forcing blades in a cylinder to rotate and turn a generator shaft …
