A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern...

Steam turbine governing is the procedure of controlling the flow rate of steam to a steam turbine so as to maintain its speed of rotation as constant...

"steam engine" is most commonly applied to reciprocating engines as just described, although some authorities have also referred to the steam turbine and...

steam turbines is a method of extracting steam energy in multiple stages rather than in a single stage in a steam turbine. A compounded steam turbine...

A steam turbine locomotive was a steam locomotive which transmitted steam power to the wheels via a steam turbine. Numerous attempts at this type of locomotive...

of the reaction turbine, and to Swedish engineer Gustaf de Laval (1845–1913) for invention of the impulse turbine. Modern steam turbines frequently employ...

high-pressure steam. This high pressure-steam is then directed to a turbine, where it rotates the turbine's blades. The rotating turbine is mechanically...

work by steam engines such as reciprocating piston type engines and steam turbines, which are a sub-group of steam engines. Piston type steam engines...

Because they are heat engines, steam turbines are subject to inefficiencies as they convert thermal energy in high-pressure steam to rotational kinetic energy...

Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company was a British engineering company based on the River Tyne at Wallsend, North East England. Charles Algernon Parsons...
