The S2 used a direct-drive steam turbine provided by the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, geared to the center pair of axles with the outer two axles connected by side rods; the fixed gear ratio was 18.5:1. Such design was to prevent energy loss and S2 achieved a mechanical efficiency of 97% which means only 3% of steam

The machine, nicknamed Mary-Ann, was the first steam turbine generator to be installed by an electric utility to generate electricity in the US. George Westinghouse had based his
Westinghouse then developed steam turbines for maritime propulsion. Large turbines were most efficient at about 3,000 rpm, while an efficient propeller operated at about 100 rpm. That required reduction gearing, but building reduction gearing that could operate at high rpm and at high power was difficult, since a slight misalignment would shake

The pioneers in this field made significant advancements in turbine design, leading to the birth of the modern gas turbine. The story of the 501D5 Turbine began with the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which later merged with Siemens to form a powerhouse of innovation. Its birth is a testament to human ingenuity and the pursuit of
S2 also hauled troop trains and was seen towing express freight trains. PRR S2 No. 6200, as an experimental prototype of a direct-drive steam turbine locomotive, ran 103,000 miles in total before it was completely withdrawn from service in August, 1949 and would soon await the scrapper''s torch. The 6200 was eventually scrapped in Conway
For the baseload market, Siemens Westinghouse believes the W501G can "revolutionise combined cycle applications", achieving net combined cycle output of nominally 370 MW (in 1×1 configuration)) or 740 MW in 2×1 (two gas turbines and one steam turbine configuration), with net efficiency over 58 per cent.
In this project, modifications and improvements were made to the facility, which contains a 150 BHP boiler, condenser, steam turbine and generator, dynamometer, and various other pumps, heat

In an attempt to compete with General Motors passenger diesels, General Electric built a pair of steam-turbine-electric locomotives in 1938 for use on the Union Pacific Railroad. They were built over three years at the General Electric Plant in Erie, PA at a cost of around $2,000,000 and were the first turbine-electric locomotive built is the USA.

Finally in 1884 Charles A. Parsons developed a practical steam turbine. Westinghouse was quick to buy up rights to the turbine and start developing it further. By 1898 he had a 300 kW steam turbine powering part of his air brake factory. Final Years: George Westinghouse stepped down from control of the company in 1907.

#3 – It used a direct-drive steam turbine from the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company which was geared to the center pair of axles, with the outer two axles connected by side rods. #4 – With a fixed gear ratio of 18.5:1, the intention of the S2''s design was to avert energy loss. It reached a mechanical efficiency of 97%.
In 1981, the company began to relocate its division headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail.
The high pressure turbine is a double-flow turbine with six stages in each direction. The first three stages are rateau (impulse) stages, and the last three stages are reaction stages. Steam enters the four nozzle block segments at the center of the high pressure turbine and flows axially in both directions.

The first device that may be classified as a reaction steam turbine was little more than a toy, the classic Aeolipile, described in the 1st century by Hero of Alexandria in Roman Egypt. In 1551, Taqi al-Din in Ottoman Egypt described a steam turbine with the practical application of rotating a spit. Steam turbines were also described by the Italian Giovanni Branca (1629) and John Wilkins in E
