What is Turbine?
The turbine is a Rotary mechanical device which extracts energy from a Fast moving Flow like Water, Gas, steam, Air And other Fluids and converts it into useful work. The turbines are basically used in Power stations to Generate Electricity.
Main Parts Of the turbine
The Main Parts Of the Turbine Are
1) Nozzle: it Guides The Steam, Water Or Fluids To flow in designed Direction And Velocity.
2) Runner: it is the rotating part of the turbine and blades are attached to the runner.
3) Blades: It is that part of the turbine on which the fast-moving fluid strikes and rotates the runner.
4) Casing: It is the outer airtight covering of the turbine which contains the runner and blades. It protects the internal parts of the turbine.
Working Principle Of The Turbine
A fast-moving fluid, it may be water, gas, steam or wind is made to strike on the blades of the turbine.
As the fluid strikes the blades or buckets, it rotates the runner. Here the energy of the moving fluid is converted into rotational energy.
A generator is coupled with the shaft of the turbine. With the rotation of the runner of the turbine, the shaft of the generator also rotates. The generator converts the mechanical energy of the runner into electrical energy.
