Question
Observe the given diagram and answer the questions given below.
- What is the name of machine given in the diagram?
- Write down the function of this machine in short.
- How does it gets/forms the motion?
Solution
- The given machine is a steam turbine.
- To rotate the generator which produces the electrical energy.
- To drive the turbine, we need an energy source. The construction of the turbine in a power plant depends on the type of energy source which is being used to rotate the turbine. For example, steam turbine is used in a thermal power plant where steam is used to rotate the turbine.
