      In cold countries they go one step further and use the hot water that comes out of the steam turbine to heat nearby buildings. A single steam turbine like this can provide enough heat for a good sized city

    @barcenasmartinezerickivan4083 5 лет назад +2

    The electricity we have is thanks to the gas turbine factor, the heart of a power plant, the best way to convert fuel into electrical energy.
    The operation is as follows:
    The air enters the turbine, where it is compressed and heated.
    The fuel is injected to combine with the air, in this way combustion occurs.
    Hot gas moves the turbine blades with certain RPM.
    The blades connected to a drive shaft cause the torque inside an electricity generator (where the magnets move electrons) to produce alternating current.

    • @shakedbm3829
      @shakedbm3829 2 года назад +1

      It's probably due to the notion of the purpose of the two engines. A gas turbine meant to produce electricity will have more of the heated gas do work on the shaft, while a jet turbine engine will have the gas be rejected through the exhausted producing thrust by Newtons third law.

    so pressured air along with combusted fuel creates a high pressure and high velocity gas which causes a turbine disc to propelled thus creating a mechanical energy which then converted into electrical energy by the generator?

    Question: Does the turbine power the air compressor? And if it does, how does the air compressor compress the initial air that makes the turbine produce its first work output that powers the air compressor et al; or does the air compressor rely on an external power source initially?

    • @stufish73

      A starter motor drives the compressor initially, much like in a car until the turbine takes over.

    • @apussnboats
      @apussnboats 5 лет назад +3

      I would say yes, because the generator likely has 2 poles or one pole pair. So the turbine would need to spin at 3000rpm for 50hz. If 60hz supply was needed, the turbine would spin at 3600rpm for that same generator.

    • @K-Effect
      @K-Effect 4 года назад

      Im guessing the optimal RPM of the generator has more to do with the optimal RPM efficiency of the turbine. Reduction gear boxes etc. I'm just a armchair engineer.

    Big problem with ANY steam cycle: difficulty in getting efficiency above 30%. Huge heat input rqd to first boil the water. OTOH, you could use exhaust gas heat as input to a stirling engine, and hopefully see 50+% efficiency there. Just looking forward, not back.
