How does a Steam Turbine Work?

Nuclear and coal based thermal power plants together produce almost half of the world’s power. Steam turbines lie at the heart of these power plants. They convert thermal energy in the steam to mechanical energy. This video will explain the inner workings of the steam turbines and why they are constructed the way they are in a step by step logical manner.

You did a better job of explaining this clearly than my professors used to, I really wish I stumbled upon this channel earlier.

I asked a turbine which kind of music it liked and she told me she was a heavy metal fan.

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.

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!

by far this is the most effective video i have seen related to steam turbine...great work

I'm a chemical engineer and this video is so easy to understand. Great Video!

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.

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%.

Wow, I love how engineering can get seriouly complex. Imagine how many years of study were necessary to reach this state of art.

[faaizsiddiqui]

Masterful animation, breakdown, explanation, information, and overall video making things I don't understand. GREAT JOB!!! You all are amazing!

[JaySmith]

Excellent channel, I'm actually sharing a lot of these videos with my engineering degree students. Regards

[_giovanni]

Thanks! Now I can start working on my power plant ones all the parts arrive!

[mukinha]

I'm so happy to learn something new today, this video is so cool!
This channel does an amazing job! Thanks guys!

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?

[AJ-SkyStriker]

I dont even work around steam turbines, but I love these types of videos.

[Armfan]

This video is the best video I have ever watched. Solved many questions i could not explain.
