Tesla turbine at Nikola Tesla Museum. The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal flow turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in 1913. [1] It functions as nozzles apply a moving fluid to the edges of a set of discs.
The Clayton forced-circulation steam generator does not have a steam drum in the typical sense. A series of small tubes that are part of one giant coil, usually made of steel, have feed water pumped through at great speed. The water is pumped from the top of the steam generator down to the bottom and out.
At these sites, there may be liquid water present in the reservoir, but only steam, not water, is produced to the surface. [25] Dry steam power directly uses geothermal steam of 150 °C or greater to turn turbines. [3] As the turbine rotates it powers a generator that produces electricity and adds to the power field. [26]
A steam drum is a standard feature of a water-tube boiler.It is a reservoir of water/steam at the top end of the water tubes. The drum stores the steam generated in the water tubes and acts as a phase-separator for the steam/water mixture.
Steam-powered showman's engine from England. The history of steam road vehicles comprises the development of vehicles powered by a steam engine for use on land and independent of rails, whether for conventional road use, such as the steam car and steam waggon, or for agricultural or heavy haulage work, such as the traction engine.
In the nuclear plant field, steam generator refers to a specific type of large heat exchanger used in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) to thermally connect the primary (reactor plant) and secondary (steam plant) systems, which generates steam. In a boiling water reactor (BWR), no separate steam generator is used and water boils in the reactor ...
Elevator design by the German engineer Konrad Kyeser (1405). The earliest known reference to an elevator is in the works of the Roman architect Vitruvius, who reported that Archimedes (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) built his first elevator probably in 236 BC. [2]
Most roguelike deck-building games present the player with one or more pre-established deck of cards that are used within the game, typically in turn-based combat. [1] As the player progresses through the game, they gain the ability to add cards to this deck, most often through either a choice of one or more random reward cards, or sometimes through an in-game shop.
