In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Simple Impulse Turbine 2. Reaction Turbine 3. Impulse Reaction Turbine. Simple Impulse Turbine: The impulse turbine depends completely upon the dynamic action of the steam. The direction of motion of the steam is changed as it passes across the blade. As a result of change of direction of steam across the blade, [...]
Basically, the wind turbines are of two types namely horizontal axis wind turbines, such as traditional farm windmills used for pumping water and the vertical axis wind turbines, such as the egg beater-style Darrieus model, named after its French inventor. Most large modern wind turbines are horizontal-axis turbines. In horizontal-axis turbines, the axis of rotation is horizontal with respect to [...]
A wind turbine is a rotary device that extracts energy from the wind and converts into rotary mechanical energy. Blowing wind spins the blades on a wind turbine. When the wind blows, a pocket of low pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade. The low pressure air pocket then pulls the blade toward it, causing the rotor [...]
