An ideal steam turbine is considered to be an isentropic process, or constant entropy process, in which the entropy of the steam entering the turbine is equal to the entropy of the steam leaving the turbine. No steam turbine is truly isentropic, however, with typical isentropic efficiencies ranging from 20 to 90% based on the application of the turbine. The interior of a turbine comprises sev
The design of turbine casing design shall be such that thermal stresses are minimized. Adequate support must be provided to the steam turbine casing to maintain good alignment with the rotor. Nozzles. Rotor: This is the main component in a steam turbine that carries the blades to convert thermal energy.
The steam turbine is one of the energy converters which converts the pressure energy of steam into mechanical energy in the form of the rotation of the shaft. The modern steam turbine was developed in 1884 by Anglo-Irish engineer Charles Algernon Parsons.
A Steam Turbine is an engine that converts heat energy from pressurized steam into mechanical energy where the steam is expanded in the turbine in multiple stages to generate the required work. Steam turbine engines are used to produce electricity and drive countless machines worldwide.

Steam turbine design is influenced by the turbine capacity, initial steam parameters (sub- and supercritical), its operation conditions within the power generation system (base-load, peak-load, semi-peak load), final steam moisture content, technological characteristics and other factors.
Low-pressure turbines usually work in wet conditions which causes both lifetime and efficiency reduction. Hot steam injection (HSI) which has received great interest recently, is a suggested solution to reduce wetness. There is a research gap in implementing HSI in the mean-line procedure, which is a conventional method of designing and

As its name suggests, a steam turbine is powered by the energy in hot, gaseous steam—and works like a cross between a wind turbine and a water turbine. Like a wind turbine, it has spinning blades that turn when steam blows past them; like a water turbine, the blades fit snugly inside a sealed outer container so the steam is constrained
