Compounding and Governing of Steam Turbines (With Methods) | Thermal Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the methods of compounding and governing of steam turbines. Compounding of Steam Turbine: The steam turbines operate at very high speed in the range 30000 r.p.m. The devices as a load operate at slow speeds in range of 1000 to 4000 r.p.m. It becomes necessary to reduce the speed of steam turbine using [...]
