Mr. Tesla maintains that in the turbine which forms the subjprt of this article, he has carried the steam and gas motor a long step forward toward the maximum attainable efficiency, both ...
Specifically excluded from consideration are extraction turbines, automated start up/shutdown systems, turbine supervisory instrumentation, steam bypass systems and turbine water induction prevention ...
Thermostatic steam traps open and close with the expansion and contraction of a temperature-sensitive element. These traps operate on the difference in temperature between steam, the cooler condensate ...
There are two basic types of steam turbines: impulse and reaction. Impulse turbines are used for smaller power-generation applications. Reaction turbines are used for industrial-scale power generation ...
The majority of the world’s electricity is produced by steam turbines consisting of a cascade of turbine blades designed to optimize the efficient conversion of kinetic steam energy to ...
Steam turbines have helped drive a large chunk of our technological development over the last century or so, and they’ll always make for interesting DIY. [Hyperspace Pirate] built a small ...
Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems.
Instead, this is a steam turbine, nothing like the 1920s and 30s experiments with conventional locomotives, nor even the Union Pacific’s oil-fired condensing turbo-electrics. The new idea here ...
