  2. Factorio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorio

    Factorio is a construction and management simulation game developed and published by Czech studio Wube Software. The game was announced via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2013 and released for Windows , macOS , and Linux on 14 August 2020 following an early access phase, which was made available on 25 February 2016.

  3. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    The variation of the steam consumption rate ṁ (kg/h) with the turbine load during throttle governing is linear and is given by the “willan’s line”. [1] The equation for the willan’s line is given by: ṁ=aL+C. Where a is the steam rate in kg/kWh, 'L' is the load on turbine in KW and C is no load steam consumption.

  4. Steam turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine

    Steam's starting pressure and temperature is the same for both the actual and the ideal turbines, but at turbine exit, steam's energy content ('specific enthalpy') for the actual turbine is greater than that for the ideal turbine because of irreversibility in the actual turbine.

  5. Compounding of steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compounding_of_steam_turbines

    An important point to note here is that the inlet steam velocities to each stage of moving blades are essentially equal. It is because the velocity corresponds to the lowering of the pressure. Since, in a pressure compounded steam turbine, only a part of the steam is expanded in each nozzle. The steam velocity is lower than in the previous case.

  6. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

    A steam–electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam-driven: water is heated, evaporates, and spins a steam turbine which drives an electric generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of steam–electric power plants is due ...

  7. Heat recovery steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_steam_generator

    In the energy-rich Persian Gulf region, the steam from the HRSG is used for desalination plants. [1] Universities are ideal candidates for HRSG applications. They can use a gas turbine to produce high-reliability electricity for campus use. The HRSG can recover the heat from the gas turbine to produce steam/hot water for district heating or ...

  8. Steam engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_engine

    The main use for steam turbines is in electricity generation (in the 1990s about 90% of the world's electric production was by use of steam turbines) [5] however the recent widespread application of large gas turbine units and typical combined cycle power plants has resulted in reduction of this percentage to the 80% regime for steam turbines ...

  9. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

    A steam turbine from MAN SE subsidiary MAN Turbo. In general, the two kinds of turbomachines encountered in practice are open and closed turbomachines. Open machines such as propellers, windmills, and unshrouded fans act on an infinite extent of fluid, whereas closed machines operate on a finite quantity of fluid as it passes through a housing or casing.
