Terry was the name of a steam turbine manufacturer. The company was bought by Dresser-Rand some years ago. I don't think they sell this model now, only spare parts.

The basic design is that of an impulse turbine (as opposed to a reaction turbine). The unique feature with Terry is the nozzles feed steam radially inward to a single rotating wheel with blading on the circumference. The blades are semi-circular so the flow path is spiral between the blades and the stationary nozzles. They are arranged in sets of an inlet nozzle with 4 or 5 reversing nozzles before the spent steam is exhausted. The number of nozzle sets depends on the steam rate.

What is the difference between turbine and machine?

the machine is the one that operates or makes the turbine work. the machine is the one that operates or makes the turbine work.


How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?

Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.


Why the temperature and the pressure of gas are decreasing after flowing out from turbine?

The gas (working fluid) having flown through the turbine does some work on the turbine, converting its thermal energy into mechanical work produced by the turbine and coming out as an expanding gas with lower temperature and pressure.

Which energy output objects work with the turbine?

Turbines can work with a variety of energy output objects, such as generators, pumps, compressors, and propellers. The specific setup depends on the type of turbine and its intended application.


Why is it advantageous to use steam as hot as possible in a steam driven turbine?

in practice;the steam MUST be in the superheated region before entering the turbine.superheated steam means there is not moister in the steam (dry steam)the reason is moister will damage the turbine blades.in theory;the hotter the temperature the better the efficiency (look up vapor power cycles)work done by the turbine = the enthalpy (at temp. of steam entering the turbine)- the enthalpy at the turbine exist.the efficiency = work done by the turbine / the heat input.

What is a reaction steam turbine?

Steam turbine is when a device that has the extract thermal energy from pressurized steam. It is used to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.


How does a turbine and generator work?

The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.


How does a turbo blower work?

turbo blower is an equipment where a turbine is attached with the blower part. steam enters through the turbine inlet and expands through the blades and goes to the outlet which helps the turbine shafts to rotate. this turbine shaft is attached with the shaft of blower that makes the blower rotating.


What is the effect or reheater in the gas turbine?

1.Turbine output is increased for same compressor work. 2.As more heat is supplied,thermal efficiency decreases.
