This video lecture explains the basic working principle behind steam turbines. Check http://www.learnengineering.org/2013/02/working-of-steam-turbine.html to read more on steam turbines. Here energy transfer from fluid to solid is explained in a logical manner. Concepts like degree of reaction, impulse turbine , reaction turbine and parson turbine

what are anybody's thoughts on using bark and wood chip for fuel in steam boiler
-
thank you very much
-
When a fluids velocity decreases, it's pressure increases along with temperature. Bernoulli law.
-
great explanation. cleared all my doubts.
-
Short but clear, fantastic explanation to the topic. My understanding has greatly improved due to this video, thank you very very much for creating this! I will be doing a donation to your channel in the upcoming days to encourage your further production.

superb explanation
-
Ill do your voice over for 20 bucks.

.. how can turbiine convert thermal energy into mechanical energy.
-
very help full video thanks
-
Such a good intention behind this vídeo, we appreciate that! But please stop this robotic narration it caused me to think over and over again if the vídeo is worth watching, really friend, turn it off and do it yourself it would be much better.

I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on INPLIX. Just google it.

teach us Mr. Robot!

So, I have a question, or maybe it is an idea that i would like to share. So, sure, there are many finer points to the engineering of a steam turbine to make them work efficiently, and no doubt the designs have improved much since the invention of the steam engine. Also, as we all know, Nuclear reactors are just steam engines with a far more complicated and dangerous form of fire in them. Which once I realized that, I have to say, I was far less impressed with nuclear energy as a thing. But I digress. Here is my idea/question. Why use water for steam engines. The boiling point of water is 212 degrees and that is pretty hot. Hot enough that it requires burning fuel to achieve that temp. But there are lots of things with lower boiling points. Like Acetaldehyde for instance. It boils at 69 degrees. Or Methyl Bromide. It boils at 38 degrees. Seems to me one could set up a system that temp shields a condensation tank to cycle the substance back through in a loop. and and generate electricity with no fuel just using the ambient temperature of any given day if you use the right substance. For instance, with the Acetaldehyde, which is abundantly found in nature, one might be able to make a unit attached to a home, say for the AC, and when the temp rises above 69 the unit would kick on, power the AC and cool the house. Maybe part of it would need to run into underground pipes or something so the substance can cool and cycle back through again. I don't know know how it would work exactly, I am not an engineer, I am just a creative thinker. But this seems like a good idea. There seem to be some chemicals which boil at below freezing temps. Why can we not build a turbine to run on those that would run in the winter, perhaps a large power plant that employs a variety of these different boiling point elements to just run on the ambient temperature even as the weather and temperature change. Someone tell me why this wouldn't work.
