mechanical energy. The history of this turbine goes back to the first century but Sir Charles
Parsons invest the modern manifestation of the steam engine in 1884. This turbine has applications
in transport mediums which use steam engines like trains and ships but mostly it is used to generate
electricity.
This turbine uses steam to rotate the runner of the turbine. A boiler is used to convert water into
steam. This steam is then passed through a nozzle to create a fast speed steam jet. The kinetic
energy of this jet then moves the runner of turbine through the bucket shaped blades of the runner.
The steam then moves to the condenser chamber which converts the steam back into water and
water then goes back to the boiler. This cycle carries on to continuously rotating the runner of the
turbine. The whole working scheme of the steam turbine is shown in figure 1.
