Turbo Machinery-BE (Aero)-22-A, B

Turbo machinery is a subject of considerable importance in a modern industrial civilization. Steam turbines are at the heart of central station power plants, whether fueled by coal or uranium. Gas turbines and axial compressors are the key components of jet engines. Aero derivative gas turbines are also used to generate electricity with natural gas as fuel. Same technology is used to drive centrifugal compressors for transmitting this natural gas across continents. Blowers and fans are used for mine and industrial ventilation. Large pumps are often driven with steam turbines to provide feed water to boilers. They are used in sanitation plants for wastewater cleanup. Hydraulic turbines generate electricity from water stored in reservoirs, and wind turbines do the same from the flowing wind.
