by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Kaplan Turbine : Working & Its Applications The first Kaplan Turbine was invented by “Viktor Kaplan” in the year 1913 based on the turboprop engine design. Thus, it works on the reverse principle of the propeller. He merged propeller blades with wicket gates which are automatically...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Francis Turbine : Working & Its Applications Francis turbines are the most frequently used hydro turbines including 60% of the global hydropower capacity in the globe. This is a large rotary mechanical device, used to change both the energies like potential and kinetic into hydroelectricity....
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is a Reaction Turbine : Working & Its Applications We know that there are different types of turbines available which are used to generate electricity but its classification can be done mainly on the nozzle position & runner blades like reaction turbine and impulse turbine. But almost...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Impulse Turbine : Working & Its Applications A turbine is a rotating mechanical device, used to generate electricity. The classification of these turbines can be done based on the requirement like water turbine or hydro turbine, gas turbine, steam turbine, and wind turbine. Among...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Vertical Axis Wind Turbine : Working & Its Applications Day by day, pollution levels and sea levels have been increased. So, renewable energy sources around the world have been increasing to reduce energy costs and protect the world. To overcome this, wind turbines are designed to generate electrical...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is a Gas Turbine : Working & Its Applications A turbine is a rotating mechanical device that uses the kinetic energy (KE) of some liquid like water, air, combustion gases, or steam & changes this into the rotating motion of the device itself. There are different types of turbines...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago Types of Turbine : Working and Their Applications The term “turbine’ was taken from the Latin word ‘Turbo’, which means to spin. Here, the turbine is one type of Mechanical device, used to change the energy of steam, flowing water, wind, and gas to mechanical to operate an electric...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine : Working & Its Applications A wind turbine is a rotating mechanical device, used to change wind energy from kinetic to electrical. These are available in different sizes with either vertical or horizontal axes. The wind turbine is an essential device in a wind power...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Water Turbine : Working & Its Applications Water turbines have been used for industrial power & power grids since the 19th century. The main drawback of a water turbine is its size because it restricts the flow rate & the head can be controlled. The movement from these turbines...
by Tarun Agarwal 3 years ago What is a Darrieus Wind Turbine & Its Working Renewable energy sources around the world are used by many people to decrease the cost of energy as well as to defend the world. We know that renewable energy can be obtained through solar, wind, turbines, etc. Raising the levels of pollution...
