Steam Turbine Types: Simple Impulse, Reaction & Impulse Reaction Turbine

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Simple Impulse Turbine 2. Reaction Turbine 3. Impulse Reaction Turbine. Simple Impulse Turbine: The impulse turbine depends completely upon the dynamic action of the steam. The direction of motion of the steam is changed as it passes across the blade. As a result of change of direction of steam across the blade, [...]

Classification of Wind Turbines | Electrical Engineering

Basically, the wind turbines are of two types namely hori­zontal axis wind turbines, such as traditional farm windmills used for pumping water and the vertical axis wind turbines, such as the egg beater-style Darrieus model, named after its French inventor. Most large modern wind turbines are horizontal-axis turbines. In horizontal-axis turbines, the axis of rotation is hori­zontal with respect to [...]

Diagram of Wind Turbine | Electrical Engineering

A wind turbine is a rotary device that extracts energy from the wind and converts into rotary mechanical energy. Blowing wind spins the blades on a wind turbine. When the wind blows, a pocket of low pressure air forms on the down­wind side of the blade. The low pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor [...]
