Having worked in power plants in Ireland and overseas, I find this video very interesting when you consider the amount of equipment involved boilers, fuel, water treatment, cooling systems and power distribution.
I'm a retired military turbine engine mechanic (aircraft only) and always wanted to know about steam driven turbines. After the Army I joined the USCG a machinist mate (engineer) and learned a bit about them but still never had a chance to get my hands on one. My special was complete disassembly and overhaul of of gas turbines. This video helped answer a few questions I had.
I was a gas turbine engineer for General Electric Company who supervised the installation and overhauls of many gas turbine generator and compressor drive sets. Then I transferred to the San Francisco Marine Department and they threw me into steam turbine propulsion units. I have to say that steam turbines are much easier to overhaul. They are so simple compared to gas turbines.
There's just so much detail in a video of such short duration, makes it a treat to watch. Our prof shows your channel's videos in class and god knows I have fallen in love with the content.
Great video!! As a kid I'd always stare at pages of pictures showing these intriguing mechanisms in lots of science books! Had a huge fascination for turbines!
Very nice video. Just one more thing. In modern coal power plants with Benson boilers the temperature of primary stream is about 610degrees and reheated stream is about 630degrees. Seems a quite small difference but increases the efficiency of unit from 36% to 45%.

I sometimes think American videos on science or technology are able to explain the basics of complex ideas in minutes, whereas the books my education system used weren't able to that in years. Thanks for the video.
I am an A level science student in Bangladesh ( its called class XII in Bangladesh, just mentioned the A level stuff for easy reference). According to my understanding, a modern steam turbine is fairly complicated. So much so that you have to study the angle of the airfoil, twist in the blades, the proportion at which the blades get larger, pressure regulation mechanism, maintenance and finally the overall efficiency. ALL THE FICTIONAL NOVELS AND STORIES ABOUT OTHERWORLD TRAVELS (Isekai) FEATURES MAIN CHARACTERS WHO DIDN'T EVEN STUDY ENGINEERING TO BUILD A STEAM ENGINE FROM THE GROUND UP. LIKE HOWWWWWWW??!! ( If you understand what I'm saying)
Well, it's possible to make a turbine without knowing all the modern engineering concepts behind turbine design. James Watts and others were building engines decades before thermodynamics became a science. Water wheels made from wood date back millennia. So its possible for people to build some of these things without much prior study. Whatever they build will no doubt be less efficient, versatile, limited in capacity, and less reliable though.
@@avisael9869 do you know how much energy is lost in this conversion? The efficiency is around 20% if that. You have to completely use a different method/tech for energy production. There is a different tech to be used but it's hard to explain in here.
@@JF32304 Again, same question. Provide us with a better source, since you clearly know better. And, if you understand it well enough, it shouldnt be hard to explain.
Possible error in the presentation - yes the steam flow must be used to regulate the speed of the alternator in a single alternator system BUT in real life the alternator is synced to the power grid then variations in steam flow result in variations in that particular alternators power output NOT frequency
Hi, Learn Engineering, about two or three month ago I made Slovak subtitles for this video and they are not approved yet. Could you approve them, please?
There is an important error in this video. 2:50 shows the entire low pressure turbine. But the animation is missing the first row of turbine guide vanes. In turbines you always need a stator in front of the rotor to give angular momentum to the flowing gas. The turbine blades will use the energy of this angular momentum and convert it to power according to eulers law. If the gas goes through the first turbine blade row withot that momentum, the first row cannot generate any power.
Sir it was indeed an awesome video, but we expect u to explain the entire process right from boiler outlet to electricity generation for much vivid understanding. Thanks !👌
videos of LE are fantastic...so much practical knowledge we are getting...schools ,colleges,class are getting so much knowledge...please keep it up....awsssmmm ...

In the "Boiler, How it works" video you said that presussure would ideally remain the same but it increases a bit because of friction and other stuff... But in this video you are saying that pressure is source of energy and I understand that pressure is desired....
I directed gas turbine overhauls as well. All the headaches of a steam plant are concentrated in the gas turbine unit. I enjoyed them both as well as marine steam turbine propulsion and reduction gears.
the 600°C is not a problem related to the blades' materials, infact gas turbine can support higher temperatures ; It is mostly a problem related to the steam generator that works at high pressure and also high temperature ; the combination of these factors limit the temperature at 600°C.
Just summary of what i learnt from the video. Flow energy is converted into mechanical energy. Generally, there are three forms of energy: Speed(K.E), temperature(internal energy) and pressure. As the blades absorb energy, all the three factors decrease. Stator acts like a nozzle as it increaes the speed of the steam and rotar acts sth which helps the fluid flow from high pressure to low pressure. However , temperature and pressure should decrease overall to make the energy constant. As i studied before, there comes the concept of intercooling and reheating. Reheating is done at the turbine end to increase the temperature snd thus the efficiency of the overall system. Between where is the compressor?? It should have been there. How the flow is controlled if the mass flow rate is not same? @5:14
Answer me this, in school, everyone said "tur-bine". In industry (both steam, and gas stationary, as well as aero) I've always heard it pronounced "tur-bin"...like the head wrap.
0:50 the “flow energy” of the fluid air transfers to the “mechanical energy” of the rotor 1:00 “a fluid has 3 forms of energy: speed pressure temperature” 1:25 to increase velocity fluid is passed through stators ; the stator set is stationary and attached to the turbine casing 1:39 the flow are decreases through the stator; thus the speed increases ; in short, it acts as a “nozzle” As the speed of the “jet” (defined as: liquid stream?) increases in the stator,
Steam turbines are just a tool for converting heat to rotational force. If you get that heat from a sustainable source, you'd have a sustainable steam turbine : )
Its always amazing how 10% of the population would understand the process in theory while 90% of the population would understand it in practice/reality when they see the components and how they actually work inside explained with transparent photos. Those who understand it in theory are the ones who know exactly how much energy they can squeeze to the border of safety for the turbines and the workers and just by watching the calculations on the monitors it takes a second or two for them to understand if something's not going right and pull the plug before something terrible happens.
Is it possible to use something like a gear box to make turbine spin the generator faster? would this produce more power? from what I took from this video the turbine and the generator is one unit
Brycen Ballinger You would only increase voltage, which is the force moving electricity around (kinda like pressure for water), but at the same time you would lower the current (number of electrons moving, kinda like flow rate for water). Since power is the product of the two, no you can't.
Brycen Ballinger Actually, some do. The final output must be 50 or 60 cycles per second or Hertz. That would require 3,000 or 3,600 rpm. But some turbines are run at slower speeds of, say, 1800 with a 2x transmission to get to 3,600. You understand that the USA used 60 Hertz while most of the rest of the world uses 50 Hertz so whatever speed the turbine is run at would go through a transmission that would speed it up to either 50 or 60 Hertz. I used to work in a GE gas turbine blade factory.
Wouldn't it be more efficient to produce energy directly from the material used to heat the water? I don't get why you wouldn't use nuclear energy directly to power a grid instead of steaming water with nuclear and then using that energy to power the same grid
Craig F. Thompson Today’s cars expel cleaner air than they take in. Coal burning liberates heavy metals among other things. My state (NC) has had major problems with coal waste retention ponds. Yes, the stacks are cleaner but that isn’t the end of the story. Thanks for playing, though.
Because curiosity knows no bounds. Nobody should limit himself to learning about his specific field of work, he should learn about /everything/. You're doing exactly what we all should
Bingo! So true. When the 2 lights on the syncroscope are out and you smack that breaker closed its locked into the grid like you slid a giant gear into mesh.
So, that's a tripple expansion, steam turbine engine Also, its exactly the opposite of the cold end of a gas turbine engine on an aircraft, because the fan discs at the front of the engine run from large to small at the back, as the gas turbine works exactly the opposite way, it uses internal combustion, to compress and move large volumes of air The hot part of a gas turbine engine works exactly the same way as this though, the air inside the engine, it hits a smaller fan disc first, working its way through stages to a larger fan disc at the exhaust of the engine And the only other difference between this steam turbine engine, and a gas turbine engine is, the gas turbine engine has combustion chambers in it arounr half way down where the fuel/air mixture is ignited, and i guess passed through a stator disc towards the first fan disc towards the rear of the engine 🙂
Same science that powers a nuclear sub. Almost unlimited except for inevitable nuclear decay. But still, 30 years to keep a boiler lit? And the turbine technology is amazing.
In the US Navy, the steam sent back to the boiler is called "super heated steam", all other steam produced is called "saturated steam", but then there is steam which has been super heated but needs to be cooled down a bit and that is called "de-super heated steam"
Just a little point at the end about turbine speed. Once the The turbine is connected and generating the speed will remain constant as it's locked to the grid. More steam = More power generated. Less steam = Less Power generated. If Steam flow is reduced too much the generator will, in effect turn into a motor and start to turn the turbine. This would cause a great deal of damage in a very short time.

But where does the boiler get the energy to heat the water?
noreaction often from coal
it depends but mainly its either burning chemical substances or from nuclears reaction
Wouldn't it be more efficient to produce energy directly from the material used to heat the water? I don't get why you wouldn't use nuclear energy directly to power a grid instead of steaming water with nuclear and then using that energy to power the same grid
And how would you convert nuclear Energy to Electricity without a Steam Turbine?
noreaction because it's not so safe
People with electric cars need to see this video. When I refer to their cars as coal powered they don’t understand. My poco uses coal.

The throttle valve on a turbine that's tied to the grid will not control frequency. It only controls the amount of load placed on the turbine.

I really like these kind of videos, about to get into 3d software development and I hope this type of device is the first thing I build inside of it.
That music is just all up in your ears.
So, that's a tripple expansion, steam turbine engine
Also, its exactly the opposite of the cold end of a gas turbine engine on an aircraft, because the fan discs at the front of the engine run from large to small at the back, as the gas turbine works exactly the opposite way, it uses internal combustion, to compress and move large volumes of air
The hot part of a gas turbine engine works exactly the same way as this though, the air inside the engine, it hits a smaller fan disc first, working its way through stages to a larger fan disc at the exhaust of the engine
And the only other difference between this steam turbine engine, and a gas turbine engine is, the gas turbine engine has combustion chambers in it arounr half way down where the fuel/air mixture is ignited, and i guess passed through a stator disc towards the first fan disc towards the rear of the engine 🙂

My works too. Used Avasva handbooks and build it with no problems.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
3:57 with great power comes great responsibility
In the US Navy, the steam sent back to the boiler is called "super heated steam", all other steam produced is called "saturated steam", but then there is steam which has been super heated but needs to be cooled down a bit and that is called "de-super heated steam"
Superheated steam is saturatred steam passed back through the boiler in a closed system BEFORE it exits the boiler
@@rickmunro5332 here is a question for you, when steam exits the steam drum, does it not leave the boiler?
Just a little point at the end about turbine speed.
Once the The turbine is connected and generating the speed will remain constant as it's locked to the grid.
More steam = More power generated.
Less steam = Less Power generated.
If Steam flow is reduced too much the generator will, in effect turn into a motor and start to turn the turbine.
This would cause a great deal of damage in a very short time.
Sir, thanks a ton for this, I promise to donate to your cause as soon as I get a job. Thanks again sir ❤️❤️
Thanks for the info in the video. I am gonna share to my social pace.
Very well explained ....
Wow! A very nice description
Thank God for steam turbines!!! St James 1:17
Excellent explanation
Hello Sir! 1.How do we decide whether we should be using impulse turbine or reaction turbine?2. The fixed blades shown in this video are attached to what?3. Do we attach nozzles in reaction turbines??
Thanks in advance sir!!!!!
Very informative and the way you present its very well lay man can understand.
Learning power systems on my own for now to keep the lights on when everything goes off
Thank u for giving such a nice information
