Excerpt from Steam Turbines: Practice and Theory The steam turbine, like the water turbine, is based on the principle that when a fluid is in motion its energy will be converted into mechanical work, if the fluid impinges on moving vanes which change its direction of flow and reduce its velocity; It differs from the water turbine in important particulars, however, due to the facts that water and steam have very different properties and that the steam turbine, like the steam engine, is a heat motor and must utilize the heat energy of steam. The Principle of the Water Turbine is illustrated in Fig.1, which shows the effect of a curved vane upon a stream of water. The lines w, R, V, etc., represent velocities and also show direction of motion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
