Nuclear and coal based thermal power plants together produce almost half of the world’s power. Steam turbines lie at the heart of these power plants. They convert thermal energy in the steam to mechanical energy. This video will explain the inner workings of the steam turbines and why they are constructed the way they are in a step by step logical manner.

it is quit refreshing to see a "pedro" or juseff or some such offer up a correction to a egghead english
It took me over 5 years of studying mechanical engineering before I got an acceptable definition of what enthalpy is. Thanks so much for these videos!
How fast can water be turned into steam? How many gallons of water per hour can be turned into steam?

super and informative
You did a better job of explaining this clearly than my professors used to, I really wish I stumbled upon this channel earlier.
A lot of it is also because they have actual illustrations and animations, which would be difficult to source for individual professors without knowing where to find them.
@@Duspende Professors concentrate on principles.With a couple of lines on the blackboard they convey the principles.It would be really productive if equipment manufacturers would coordinate equipment brochures to be used along with theoretical
instruction.
Having worked in power plants in Ireland and overseas, I find this video very interesting when you consider the amount of equipment involved boilers, fuel, water treatment, cooling systems and power distribution.

I also have worked in a thermoelectric power station in São Paulo, Brazil. This video is fantastic and shows exactly how it works.
I asked a turbine what kind of music she liked and she said she was a heavy metal fan.

Hi dad
🤣😂😂🤣
That's a good one !
My dad teaches turbines, he’s gona be ecstatic when I give him that joke to torment his class... let’s just say their gona be blown away wink wink
by far this is the most effective video i have seen related to steam turbine...great work
Great video!! As a kid I'd always stare at pages of pictures showing these intriguing mechanisms in lots of science books! Had a huge fascination for turbines!
I'm a retired military turbine engine mechanic (aircraft only) and always wanted to know about steam driven turbines. After the Army I joined the USCG a machinist mate (engineer) and learned a bit about them but still never had a chance to get my hands on one. My special was complete disassembly and overhaul of of gas turbines.
This video helped answer a few questions I had.
i work for GE on turbines, gas and steam are way more different than youd think
I was a gas turbine engineer for General Electric Company who supervised the installation and overhauls of many gas turbine generator and compressor drive sets. Then I transferred to the San Francisco Marine Department and they threw me into steam turbine propulsion units. I have to say that steam turbines are much easier to overhaul. They are so simple compared to gas turbines.
Very nice video. Just one more thing. In modern coal power plants with Benson boilers the temperature of primary stream is about 610degrees and reheated stream is about 630degrees. Seems a quite small difference but increases the efficiency of unit from 36% to 45%.
wow that is a lot of gain
Wow, I love how engineering can get seriouly complex. Imagine how many years of study were necessary to reach this state of art.
yeah dude, hope i see one irl
Masterful animation, breakdown, explanation, information, and overall video making things I don't understand. GREAT JOB!!! You all are amazing!
Excellent channel, I'm actually sharing a lot of these videos with my engineering degree students. Regards
Please tell them also about super heated steam and the importance of the condensation point..
Hi, Learn Engineering,
about two or three month ago I made Slovak subtitles for this video and they are not approved yet. Could you approve them, please?
Thanks! Now I can start working on my power plant ones all the parts arrive!
I'm so happy to learn something new today, this video is so cool!
This channel does an amazing job! Thanks guys!
videos of LE are fantastic...so much practical knowledge we are getting...schools ,colleges,class are getting so much knowledge...please keep it up....awsssmmm ...
This video is the best video I have ever watched. Solved many questions i could not explain.
Amazing tutorial :
fantastic experience.
Thank you❤️
I really liked this video. The animation is vivid and the narrator described the processes well.
Thank you.
I am an A level science student in Bangladesh ( its called class XII in Bangladesh, just mentioned the A level stuff for easy reference). According to my understanding, a modern steam turbine is fairly complicated. So much so that you have to study the angle of the airfoil, twist in the blades, the proportion at which the blades get larger, pressure regulation mechanism, maintenance and finally the overall efficiency.
ALL THE FICTIONAL NOVELS AND STORIES ABOUT OTHERWORLD TRAVELS (Isekai) FEATURES MAIN CHARACTERS WHO DIDN'T EVEN STUDY ENGINEERING TO BUILD A STEAM ENGINE FROM THE GROUND UP. LIKE HOWWWWWWW??!! ( If you understand what I'm saying)
Well, it's possible to make a turbine without knowing all the modern engineering concepts behind turbine design. James Watts and others were building engines decades before thermodynamics became a science. Water wheels made from wood date back millennia. So its possible for people to build some of these things without much prior study. Whatever they build will no doubt be less efficient, versatile, limited in capacity, and less reliable though.
I dont even work around steam turbines, but I love these types of videos.
great video ! keep going your amazing work !
btw I'm trying to enter into the DIY world 😊

Very nice animation and super informative and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thanks for that, this was the only major part of power production that I wasn't completely clear on.
Sir it was indeed an awesome video, but we expect u to explain the entire process right from boiler outlet to electricity generation for much vivid understanding. Thanks !👌
that's definetly one of the best work that you've ever done
Answer me this, in school, everyone said "tur-bine". In industry (both steam, and gas stationary, as well as aero) I've always heard it pronounced "tur-bin"...like the head wrap.
That’s turban, u bright one!
Well it can be both, I have heard tur-bin and tur-bine.
Tur-bine
Great video, will suggest it to classmates👌
Explained the basic idea very clearly.
I used to teach this at Great Lakes Ill during my US Navy Days! Nicely done, new Sub.
Good contents of steam turbine in powerplant.
Thanks ^^
Which software is used to make this animation?
awesome lesson
Good job Lesics for understanding this turbine engine for planes maybe?
In the "Boiler, How it works" video you said that presussure would ideally remain the same but it increases a bit because of friction and other stuff... But in this video you are saying that pressure is source of energy and I understand that pressure is desired....
You add a pump priot to the heating process to increase pressure
@@anl2468 in boiler there will be a continuous supply of powerd coal which get heated, in boiler it also connected with pump for supply of water
Now i can understand how steam turbine work. Thank you for education sir.
Please make a longer video next time with more explanation. Thanks.
You guys are doing a commendable work..keep going.
Of all the different kinds of industrial mechanical/construction work I do, repairing and overhauling steam turbines is my favorite
I directed gas turbine overhauls as well. All the headaches of a steam plant are concentrated in the gas turbine unit. I enjoyed them both as well as marine steam turbine propulsion and reduction gears.
the 600°C is not a problem related to the blades' materials, infact gas turbine can support higher temperatures ; It is mostly a problem related to the steam generator that works at high pressure and also high temperature ; the combination of these factors limit the temperature at 600°C.
I hope that I pass my end sems after watching this video.
Amazing video 😀

Have learned more from this video. It was of much help to my future career.Continue uploading videos like this.
Great presentation
Sir please make a vedio of nuclear reactor in 3D
Rods make heat, heat evaporate water, steam turbine
But you must be careful of uranium rods flying through your feat. That's how disasters happen
A good video to understand concepts of turbines Function....Thanks...
A steam engine wont work if you insult it.
Because it has high self eSTEAM.
Press M for Memes Lol wtf haha
Press M for Memes Haha
Ohhh :)
Press M for Memes
Kind sir, let me show you the door

Good explanation through this video of steam turbine.
Such a worth explanation
Increase views of all videos related to Chernobyl or nuclear plant.
Credit goes to HBO
Easy and quality explanation....
Hello
i from Vietnam country.
i need english sub of this video.
you can send for me?
thanks.
Such short but informative video. 🙏🏻 Namaste to the creator.
what software do upu used for made the video?
Diego Lozano I suppose blender
I really like these kind of videos, about to get into 3d software development and I hope this type of device is the first thing I build inside of it.
Is it possible to use something like a gear box to make turbine spin the generator faster? would this produce more power? from what I took from this video the turbine and the generator is one unit
dude
Brycen Ballinger You would only increase voltage, which is the force moving electricity around (kinda like pressure for water), but at the same time you would lower the current (number of electrons moving, kinda like flow rate for water). Since power is the product of the two, no you can't.
thank you very much for explaining that!!
Also frequency is dependant on speed so it would probably cause major damage
Brycen Ballinger Actually, some do. The final output must be 50 or 60 cycles per second or Hertz. That would require 3,000 or 3,600 rpm. But some turbines are run at slower speeds of, say, 1800 with a 2x transmission to get to 3,600. You understand that the USA used 60 Hertz while most of the rest of the world uses 50 Hertz so whatever speed the turbine is run at would go through a transmission that would speed it up to either 50 or 60 Hertz. I used to work in a GE gas turbine blade factory.
Very well explained ....
The model for this type of cycle is a "Rankine Reheat cycle" for those interested in looking up more
you gys are changing the way of learning engg ...keep it up
We need to move to sustainable forms of energy asap...
then go out and buy solar panels asap..
jawbreaker this can be sustainable. This isn't the ultimate source of energy, it's just the conversion.
some solar power plants also use this technique.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_tower
Steam turbines are just a tool for converting heat to rotational force. If you get that heat from a sustainable source, you'd have a sustainable steam turbine : )
Yes I am talking about the first chart that shows the coal plants are more than the rest.
Excellent explanation
My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.
Great high-quality service to learning.
i'm a film school student. why the fuck am i here?
Weibin Zhou idk but leave
Weibin Zhou lol.. film school? never knew there is even such a thing.
Because you are in awe of an amazing 3D animation that you would not be capable of producing? Learn from the masters?
Because you secretly want to be an engineer.
Because curiosity knows no bounds. Nobody should limit himself to learning about his specific field of work, he should learn about /everything/. You're doing exactly what we all should
excellent very very very helpful, full of interesting knowledge. the explanation was so clear and simply could be understood. Thank you very much.
Very informative and the way you present its very well lay man can understand.
3:57 with great power comes great responsibility
this video so good i had to watch the whole ad
Just summary of what i learnt from the video.
Flow energy is converted into mechanical energy. Generally, there are three forms of energy: Speed(K.E), temperature(internal energy) and pressure. As the blades absorb energy, all the three factors decrease. Stator acts like a nozzle as it increaes the speed of the steam and rotar acts sth which helps the fluid flow from high pressure to low pressure. However , temperature and pressure should decrease overall to make the energy constant.
As i studied before, there comes the concept of intercooling and reheating. Reheating is done at the turbine end to increase the temperature snd thus the efficiency of the overall system.
Between where is the compressor?? It should have been there.
How the flow is controlled if the mass flow rate is not same? @5:14
excellent video, I am your 100% supporter... please add videos related to cooling system of a steam turbine. it should include control oil and lube oil cooling systems what is the difference between them. Also, upload video how to control turbine in an emergency situation ...bundle of thanks in anticipation
Just a little point at the end about turbine speed.
Once the The turbine is connected and generating the speed will remain constant as it's locked to the grid.
More steam = More power generated.
Less steam = Less Power generated.
If Steam flow is reduced too much the generator will, in effect turn into a motor and start to turn the turbine.
This would cause a great deal of damage in a very short time.
Thank you, I had no idea how to derive power from high temperature steam until you showed me the design.
wow great explanation
plz increase frequency for posting video.
you have good animations in videos and simple language that can be easy to understand
EXPLAINED SO AMAZINGLY. THXS YOU MUCH
Awesome video
thanx for the video i learnd so much how it works.
Very nice
outstanding elaboration.... thanks a lot
저게 바로 두산이 만들었다는 터빈이군용.. 용접공 어마무시하게 들어가겠넹..
Thanks to your great efforts.
Very interesting. I would add something about regenerative operation along with reheating. But this was entertaining and beautiful. Thank you!
Ty guys it really helped me in creating a whole new idea for my project
Steam turbine lawnmover
Very very good video
Keep it up
Perfect!! Thanks for such videos, they really help me to study
Its always amazing how 10% of the population would understand the process in theory while 90% of the population would understand it in practice/reality when they see the components and how they actually work inside explained with transparent photos. Those who understand it in theory are the ones who know exactly how much energy they can squeeze to the border of safety for the turbines and the workers and just by watching the calculations on the monitors it takes a second or two for them to understand if something's not going right and pull the plug before something terrible happens.
What an amazing video! Thank you guys very much for this
0:50 the “flow energy” of the fluid air transfers to the “mechanical energy” of the rotor
1:00 “a fluid has 3 forms of energy: speed pressure temperature”
1:25 to increase velocity fluid is passed through stators ; the stator set is stationary and attached to the turbine casing
1:39 the flow are decreases through the stator; thus the speed increases ; in short, it acts as a “nozzle”
As the speed of the “jet” (defined as: liquid stream?) increases in the stator,
beautifully explained. Great.
Very Good video thanks!!
Please add video showing the difference in between reaction and impulse turbine.
great video
The pressure differential is not the main force on the turbine blades. It's being bombarded by atoms with high kinetic energy on the opposite side. These deposit some of their energy in the blade.
You are very good
Thank you.
So, if you utilized the seebeck effect on a steam electric generator, or steam locomotive, around the hot water pipes, you could generate further thermal electricity.
So you could have an even hotter motor, cool quicker I think... leading to cheap internal combustion engines powered by coal, that are efficient enough to fly a cargo plane.
this was amazing.
How oil well drilling takes place in oil industries? Please make a video.
maniobras de precisión , limpieza y conocimiento k anteriormente sólo lo hacían técnicos extranjeros pero ahora hay Mexicanos k las realizan en mttos.
Very good video. Thanks!
Awesome animation team!!
Thank you so much sir ✨
LOVE YOU GUYS! Now i finally understand it better! Thank you for your work, you are awesome!
