the notion of turbine is a driving machine that utilizes energy from fluid flow such as water, steam and gas to drive loads such as generators, pumps, vanes, compressors, and so on. simply a turbine consists of a rotor or turbine wheel and a stator or turbine housing. The rotor consists of a shaft or shaft equipped with a propeller or blade that resembles a propeller on a fan mounted around it. The fluid streams are water, water vapor, or gas is directed and set the speed of movement by the nozzle so as to be able to drive the rotor on the rotor.
how does the turbine work? the process that occurs in the turbine at the beginning of a continuous stream of fluid that pierces the rotating blades so that the shaft on the rotor also rotates / moves. this axis rotation is then used to move the dynamo, generator, or other machine.
types of turbines
1. Gas turbine is a turbine that utilizes gas as its working fluid, inside a gas turbine as kinetic energy converted or converted into mechanical energy in the form of a spin that is useful for moving the turbine wheel to produce a power.
2. Steam turbine is a series of turbine that serves to convert steam energy having high temperature and pressure into mechanical energy or rotation.
3. pelton turbine is a type of turbine that is used for high waterfall, ie above 300 meters altitude. in pelton turbine, the potential energy of water is converted into mechanical energy on turbine water wheel through impulse process. thus pelton turbines also fall into the category of impulse turbines.
4. water turbine is a type of turbine that uses water work media to produce mechanical energy in the form of axis rotation
