Gas Turbine

Gas turbines use up high pressure gas to produce 

energy.These turbines are not used for producing 

electricity but they are used to propel jet engines.Gasturbines are the latest types of turbines. Their structure is advanced but the principle is same

Wind Turbines

Wind Turbines

Wind turbines use up the moving wind to produce electricity.These turbines might not be as popular as water and steam turbines but in many parts of the world like in Scotland and some parts of America this turbine is used to produce electricity.Long egg beater- like shafts, possessing bow shaped blades, are placed high in the sky. These blades move with the moving wind to produce electricity.Producing electricity from wind may sound a good option as wind is a resource which can never end; however this process has huge restrictions as wind is as reliable as water.It can only be applicable in parts of the world where wind moves fast continuously.

Water Turbine

Water turbines work on the same principle as the steam turbines but the difference is that they use water instead of steam. The water used by these turbines comes from lakes and rivers.Dams which are built in these huge water bodies store the water at one end, at the other end they posses hydraulic turbines which posses a shaft bearing

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

what is turbine ?

A turbine is a type of engine that can extract energy from a fluid, such as water, steam, air, or combustion gases. It can be contrasted with a piston engine, which uses a piston instead of a turbine to extract energy.

The physical makeup of a turbine is a series of blades, typically made of steel but sometimes ceramic, which can withstand higher temperatures. The fluid goes in one end, pushing the blades and causing them to spin, then gets ejected out the other end. The fluid leaves the turbine with less energy than it had going in - a portion of the difference is captured by the turbine.

single acting and double acting reciprocating pump.

In single acting pump, there is one suction valve and one delivery valve. On the backward stroke of the piston, the suction valve opens and water enters into the cylinder space. On the forward stroke, the suction valve closes and delivery valve opens, the water is

Bernoulli’s theorem and it's assumptions

Bernoulli’s theorem states that in a steady flow of ideal incompressible fluid, the sum of pressure head, velocity head and potential head is constant along a stream line provided no energy is added or taken out by external source. Bernoulli’s equation
