The push for greater efficiency and capacity often drives steam turbine upgrades and the development of new turbine features. Steam turbines used at coal and nuclear power plants require regular ...

Steam flowing steadily through an adiabatic turbine represents a fascinating intersection of thermodynamics and engineering. In this scenario, the energy of the steam is converted into mechanical work ...

Explore how combined cycle gas turbines hit 64% efficiency, capture waste heat for power, and how CCGT compares with coal and nuclear in grids ...

In the May issue, we discussed the importance of either preventing copper plating of the high-pressure (HP) steam turbine rotor or finding a good foam or mechanical removal means of restoring lost ...

Installation work has begun for the condenser in the turbine hall for the BREST-OD-300 lead-cooled fast neutron reactor at the Siberian Chemical Combine site in Seversk, in the Tomsk Region of Russia.
