Steam turbines are a type of heat engine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and converts it into mechanical work. It is mainly used in power plants for electricity generation and by industrial concerns for mechanical power applications such as power a generator or propel ships. Steam turbine has a series of blades attached to a rotor, placed inside a housing. When high-pressure steam enters the blades, the rotor will be forced to spin and convert the thermal energy into ...
