high-pressure turbine
31Steam 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. U.S. Dept. of Energy, Energy… …
32de Laval turbine — Turbine Tur bine, n. [L. turbo, inis, that which spins or whirls round, whirl.] 1. A water wheel, commonly horizontal, variously constructed, but usually having a series of curved floats or buckets, against which the water acts by its impulse or… …
33Tesla turbine — The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centrifugal flow turbine expander patented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. It is referred to as a bladeless turbine because it uses the boundary layer effect and not a fluid impinging upon the blades as in a conventional …
34Steam turbine locomotive — A steam turbine locomotive is a steam locomotive which transmits steam power to the wheels via a steam turbine. Numerous attempts at this type of locomotive were made, mostly without success. In the 1930s this type of locomotive was seen as a way …
35Overall pressure ratio — In aeronautical engineering, the term overall pressure ratio is defined as the ratio of the stagnation pressure as measured at the front and rear of the compressor of a gas turbine engine. Generally speaking, a higher overall pressure ratio… …
36Wind turbine design — An example of a wind turbine, this 3 bladed turbine is the classic design of modern wind turbines Wind turbines History Design …
37Cross-flow turbine — Cross flow turbine. Image credit; European Communities, Layman s Guidebook (on how to develop a small hydroelectric site) A cross flow turbine, Banki Michell turbine, or Ossberger turbine[1] is a water turbine developed by the Australian Anthony… …
38Mercury vapour turbine — A Mercury vapour turbine is a form of heat engine that uses mercury to drive the thermal cycle. A mercury vapour turbine has been used in conjunction with a steam turbine for generating electricity. This example of combined cycle generation does… …
39Banki turbine — A Crossflow turbine, Banki Michell turbine, or Ossberger turbine is a water turbine developed by the Australian Anthony Michell, the Hungarian Donát Bánki and the German Fritz Ossberger.Michell obtained patents for his turbine design in 1903, and …
40Wells turbine — The Wells turbine is a low pressure air turbine that rotates continuously in one direction in spite of the direction of the air flow. Its blades feature a symmetrical airfoil with its plane of symmetry in the plane of rotation and perpendicular… …
