Turbines

Engineering is an extremely broad discipline with a large number of specific applications, through which it addresses different aspects and problems of human life. Its most important branches are:

Mechanical engineering. This is one of the oldest and most important branches of engineering, dedicated to the study and design of machines: from robots and hydraulic or refrigeration systems, to land and sea vehicles or spacecraft. Mechanical engineering makes use of the principles of physics to compose complex tools, allowing new construction dynamics, obtaining energy, displacement, and a gigantic etcetera. In general, when we think abstractly of engineering, we usually think of mechanical engineering.

Industrial engineering. It is dedicated to the study and optimization of the productive processes and systems of mankind, through which raw materials are converted into various manufactured products for direct or indirect consumption. This branch of engineering became in the 18th century one of the most relevant disciplines in the labor, economic and technological world of the time, and continues to be so today. The design and development of machinery, tools and all kinds of productive circuits is at the heart of the consumer society, and engineering makes use of all kinds of disciplines and sciences to achieve the goal of making production more viable and efficient.

Civil engineering. This branch can be understood as engineering dedicated to making the world passable for human beings, since it uses formal tools such as calculus, sciences such as physics and the practical study of the real environment, to design and build facilities and constructions, such as ports, bridges, dams, dykes, dykes, etc. It is in close contact with urban planning and architecture, and is one of the most fundamental branches of engineering worldwide.

Turbines

Turbines are machines that develop torque and shaft power as a result of varying the amount of motion of the fluid passing through them.

That fluid can be a gas, vapor or liquid, although the notes given below apply to turbines operating on gas or vapor.

For the fluid to reach the high velocity required for useful momentum variations to occur, there must be a significant difference between the turbine inlet pressure and the exhaust pressure.

Steam turbines are present in various power cycles that use a fluid that can change phase, the most important of which is the Rankine Cycle, which generates steam in a boiler, from which it exits under conditions of high temperature and pressure. In the turbine, the internal energy of the steam is transformed into mechanical energy, which is typically used by a generator to produce electricity. In a turbine, two parts can be distinguished, the rotor and the stator. The rotor is made up of blade wheels attached to the shaft and constitutes the moving part of the turbine. The stator is also formed by blades, not attached to the shaft but to the turbine casing.
