Description

Steam turbine blades are an essential component within turbines that convert the steam energy into mechanical energy. These blades play a crucial role in power generation, as they function as the heart of the center of the steam turbine. When steam moves towards blades, its kinetic energy is imparted to them, which rotates them. This rotation occurs due to the force exerted by the high-velocity steam on the blades, which drives the connected machinery to produce electricity.

Additionally, these blades efficiently capture and utilize the energy of the steam flow. For this reason, there are two main types of blades: impulse and reaction. Impulse blades utilize the kinetic energy of the steam jet to impact and push the blades directly. Meanwhile, reaction blades operate by impulse and pressure difference across the blade surfaces. However, both blades work in turbines to extract maximum energy from the steam flow. Moreover, when the steam passes through the turbine blades, it undergoes a series of expansions.

Each stage of blades reduces the steam’s pressure and temperature while increasing its volume. This expansion process aims to convert the thermal energy of steam into mechanical energy and rotate the shaft. Furthermore, the blades are located at the rotor in each stage within the turbine casing. Each stage lowers the steam energy’s temperature and pressure, improving steam turbines’ efficiency and power generation capacity.
