00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.340
Nuclear and coal-based power plants together make up about half of the world's total electricity.
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.400
The steam turbine is located in the middle of this type of power plant.
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.340
They convert thermal energy into mechanical energy by making vapors.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:23.440
This video will explain how the inner part of the steam turbine works and the structural features in a series of ways.
00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:28.420
If you want to know about the main operating system, first you need to know about its blade
00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:35.600
You can see its blades are in airfoil formation.
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:41.340
When more energy flows through the steam, the pressure on the two sides varies due to airflow formation.
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:43.940
As a result, a type of lift force is created.
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:49.040
This elevator force helps to rotate the turbine.
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:55.920
In a word, the power of the steam is converted to mechanical power in the rotor.
00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.480
Find out more about the mechanism of the steam turbine
00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:01.700
Need to know more about Floyd Energy
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.960
Fluid has three types of energy
00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:07.620
Speed
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:09.840
Pressure
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:11.980
And thermal energy
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:17.480
These three types of energy are weakened due to the fluid receiving power from the fluid.
00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:25.320
Low-velocity jets cannot produce an effective lift force in this case
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.960
More velocity is sent through the structure of the stator to produce it.
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.980
Due to the special structure associated with turbine casing, this weak steam flows through the orbit.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.200
And the fluid's speed increases again.
00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:43.700
In a word, it acts as a nozzle.
00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:48.180
And the speed of the jet also increases as the jet speed increases.
00:01:48.940 --> 00:01:56.360
Through the combination of heat, pressure and speed, the total energy is equal.
00:01:58.580 --> 00:02:00.580
After this the next step of the rotor begins.
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.140
And the next steps are arranged in such a way that the angular push is the highest.
00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:11.760
In this way the next nozzleset is added.
00:02:13.700 --> 00:02:16.080
There are many such nozzle sets on the steam turbine.
00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:22.540
Another type of term here is the degree of reaction.
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:28.380
The amount of total energy converted into a rotor is calculated by dividing the flowing pressure and thermal energy.
00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:32.320
Pressure and thermal energy are called enthalpies.
00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:36.540
The degree of reaction depends on what kind of steam turbine it is
00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:45.800
As the steam moves slowly, its pressure decreases rapidly and its volume increases.
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:49.860
And the area of ​​the next turbine becomes larger to accommodate this much steam.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.720
If it is not done, the speed of the flowing steam will increase.
00:02:55.540 --> 00:02:59.060
And this is why the blades of the stem exit area are so large.
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:04.920
You can see the difference in the blade of the inlet and outlet blades.
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.640
These large blades will be seen at the end.
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:14.700
And it is done so that the angle of attack of all the blades is equal.
00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:20.060
This type of turbine has two such units.
00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:25.520
Here it is easy to understand how equal sixth is going in these two units.
00:03:31.660 --> 00:03:34.820
Higher capacity steam turbines have different types of stage.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:36.880
High pressure turbines
00:03:37.660 --> 00:03:39.040
Mid-pressure turbine
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.080
Low pressure turbine
00:03:44.220 --> 00:03:47.060
All of these are connected to a common rotating shaft.
00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:52.160
And this shaft is connected to a generator.
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.880
The reason why different stages are staged is funny
00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:00.520
The purpose is to achieve greater efficiency by using more heat
00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:04.500
This happens according to the second formula of thermodynamics.
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.200
But we can't use any heat here, beyond 5 degrees Celsius
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.120
Turbine blades cannot withstand more heat than metal.
00:04:16.580 --> 00:04:20.140
As the stem blades pass, its heat gradually decreases.
00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:26.800
Increasing the efficiency of the power plant requires increasing this reduced heat
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.160
For this, the stream is re-boiled through a bypass line from this stage. It receives more heat here.
00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:37.680
This is called reheating.
00:04:38.180 --> 00:04:40.180
It increases the heat of the stem
00:04:40.700 --> 00:04:43.360
And thus help to increase the output and efficiency of the power plant.
00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:51.460
One problem when operating a power station is to keep the speed of the steam turbine at par
00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:57.080
This is important because the power frequency and turbine speed are proportional.
00:04:57.820 --> 00:05:02.200
The speed of the steam turbine is called the speed of the load on the system.
00:05:03.580 --> 00:05:08.320
And the Steam Flow Governor system is used to control this downward trend.
00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:18.580
If the steam turbine rotates at high speeds, the control valve automatically reduces the flow of the stem until the speed is normal.
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.160
If there is a low turn around then the opposite happens.
00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:28.440
In this way, electricity is produced to balance demand.
00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:33.860
