Indian Steam Turbine | Geothermal Steam Turbines - Chola Turbo
Steam turbines , one of the greatest inventions in the field of mechanical engineering is an energy conversion device that converts thermal energy from the steam into mechanical energy. The modern steam turbine was invented in the late 19th century by Charles Parsons. In those days the demand for the efficient energy conversion device was high due to the industrial revolution. The Indian steam turbine were introduced in the power generation sector as they were able to create a rotatory motion which in turn continuously rotated the shaft of the generators. It replaced the conventional piston based steam engine because of its greater thermal conversion efficiency and high power to weight ratio. Initially the steam turbines were used in power plants and later it gained importance in various power conversion devices too. The steam turbine made the power production cheap and shaped the efficient use of thermal power through its multiple stages of expansion. Steam turbines have become...
