Steam Turbine

Steam turbines were the first turbines ever produced by man.These turbines are composed of shaft blades and a rotor engine.The steam which is produced by the burning of coal, oil or from nuclear reactor is made to pass through blades which spin at a very high speed to drive the generator which produces energy.The principle on which it works is that the thermal energy which is extracted from the steam is converted into mechanical energy.Although

officially steam engines were put into use by the efforts of the English engineer Charles Algernon Pars The concept of converting the energy produced by fast moving steam into work was first given in the first century by a Greek mathematician. However since there were not many resources at that time the concept was not given much of a thought. In 1884 when the world was at the peak of the industrial revolution the advent of steam engine changed the world at a rapid speed. First it was used to run ships and various machinery then soon it was put into use for producing electricity.For more than a century steam turbines were majorly used for production of electricity but later other types of turbines took over.Because of the fact that they use up the fossil fuels which are now are being diminished they are not preferred today for the making of electricity for masses.ons in 1884, it believed that he was not the first person who came up with the idea.
