auruturbiinide

Auruturbiinide, or steam turbines, are a type of heat engine that converts thermal energy from high-pressure steam into rotational mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then typically used to drive a generator to produce electricity, or to power other machinery such as pumps or compressors. The fundamental principle involves directing high-pressure steam onto a series of blades attached to a rotor. The steam expands and cools as it passes through the turbine, transferring its kinetic energy to the rotor and causing it to spin at high speeds.

The steam used in these turbines is usually generated in a boiler by heating water, often by burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil. In nuclear power plants, the heat source is nuclear fission. Renewable energy sources like geothermal steam or concentrated solar power can also be used to produce the steam. The steam exiting the turbine is then condensed back into water, often using cooling towers or bodies of water, and pumped back to the boiler to repeat the cycle.

Auruturbiinide are essential components in most modern power generation facilities due to their high efficiency and reliability in converting heat into usable energy. They are designed in various configurations, including impulse turbines and reaction turbines, each with specific advantages depending on the application and steam conditions. Their development has been crucial for industrialization and powering the electrical grid.
