The steam turbine generators used today produce approximately 85% of the electricity in the United States. In a typical turbine, steam flows in at a speed near 100 miles per hour and at temperatures from 400 to 950 degrees Fahrenheit. This course describes the differences between Impulse and Reaction turbines, how steam turbines are classified, and some typical operational issues associated with steam turbines.
