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.

it is quit refreshing to see a "pedro" or juseff or some such offer up a correction to a egghead english
It took me over 5 years of studying mechanical engineering before I got an acceptable definition of what enthalpy is. Thanks so much for these videos!
How fast can water be turned into steam? How many gallons of water per hour can be turned into steam?

super and informative
You did a better job of explaining this clearly than my professors used to, I really wish I stumbled upon this channel earlier.
A lot of it is also because they have actual illustrations and animations, which would be difficult to source for individual professors without knowing where to find them.
@@Duspende Professors concentrate on principles.With a couple of lines on the blackboard they convey the principles.It would be really productive if equipment manufacturers would coordinate equipment brochures to be used along with theoretical
instruction.
I asked a turbine which kind of music it liked and she told me she was a heavy metal fan.

Hi dad
🤣😂😂🤣
That's a good one !
My dad teaches turbines, he’s gona be ecstatic when I give him that joke to torment his class... let’s just say their gona be blown away wink wink
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!
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.

I also have worked in a thermoelectric power station in São Paulo, Brazil. This video is fantastic and shows exactly how it works.
by far this is the most effective video i have seen related to steam turbine...great work
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.
Zhee
I'm so happy to learn something new today, this video is so cool!
This channel does an amazing job! Thanks guys!

Masterful animation, breakdown, explanation, information, and overall video making things I don't understand. GREAT JOB!!! You all are amazing!
I really liked this video. The animation is vivid and the narrator described the processes well.
Thank you.
I'm a chemical engineer and this video is so easy to understand. Great Video!
Thanks for letting us know

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.
i work for GE on turbines, gas and steam are way more different than youd think
I was a gas turbine engineer for General Electric Company who supervised the installation and overhauls of many gas turbine generator and compressor drive sets. Then I transferred to the San Francisco Marine Department and they threw me into steam turbine propulsion units. I have to say that steam turbines are much easier to overhaul. They are so simple compared to gas turbines.
Wow, I love how engineering can get seriouly complex. Imagine how many years of study were necessary to reach this state of art.
yeah dude, hope i see one irl
that's definetly one of the best work that you've ever done
Amazing tutorial :
fantastic experience.
Thank you❤️
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 that is a lot of gain
Good contents of steam turbine in powerplant.
Thanks ^^
Thanks! Now I can start working on my power plant ones all the parts arrive!
videos of LE are fantastic...so much practical knowledge we are getting...schools ,colleges,class are getting so much knowledge...please keep it up....awsssmmm ...
Those who make (dislike) are Electrical Engineers
Excellent channel, I'm actually sharing a lot of these videos with my engineering degree students. Regards
Please tell them also about super heated steam and the importance of the condensation point..
LOVE YOU GUYS! Now i finally understand it better! Thank you for your work, you are awesome!
Thanks for that, this was the only major part of power production that I wasn't completely clear on.
Hey steam turbines! Big fan!
This is a stupid way to make electricity... You do realize that...
@@JF32304 What other way you suggest? I'm sincerely asking not trying to be sarcastic.
@@avisael9869 do you know how much energy is lost in this conversion? The efficiency is around 20% if that. You have to completely use a different method/tech for energy production. There is a different tech to be used but it's hard to explain in here.
@@JF32304 Again, same question.
Provide us with a better source, since you clearly know better.
And, if you understand it well enough, it shouldnt be hard to explain.
@@JF32304 3 months later, no answer. Typical armchair "engineer."
awesome lesson
Thank you, I had no idea how to derive power from high temperature steam until you showed me the design.
Very nice animation and super informative and easy to understand. Thank you!
Really nice work,keep it up !
Nice explanation,Very interesting and unique video.
You guys are doing a commendable work..keep going.
Great video, will suggest it to classmates👌
Explained the basic idea very clearly.
great video ! keep going your amazing work !
btw I'm trying to enter into the DIY world 😊

Perfect!! Thanks for such videos, they really help me to study
Sir, thanks a ton for this, I promise to donate to your cause as soon as I get a job. Thanks again sir ❤️❤️
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?
Possible error in the presentation - yes the steam flow must be used to regulate the speed of the alternator in a single alternator system BUT in real life the alternator is synced to the power grid then variations in steam flow result in variations in that particular alternators power output NOT frequency
This video is the best video I have ever watched. Solved many questions i could not explain.
What an amazing video! Thank you guys very much for this
Sir it was indeed an awesome video, but we expect u to explain the entire process right from boiler outlet to electricity generation for much vivid understanding. Thanks !👌
I am an A level science student in Bangladesh ( its called class XII in Bangladesh, just mentioned the A level stuff for easy reference). According to my understanding, a modern steam turbine is fairly complicated. So much so that you have to study the angle of the airfoil, twist in the blades, the proportion at which the blades get larger, pressure regulation mechanism, maintenance and finally the overall efficiency.
ALL THE FICTIONAL NOVELS AND STORIES ABOUT OTHERWORLD TRAVELS (Isekai) FEATURES MAIN CHARACTERS WHO DIDN'T EVEN STUDY ENGINEERING TO BUILD A STEAM ENGINE FROM THE GROUND UP. LIKE HOWWWWWWW??!! ( If you understand what I'm saying)
Well, it's possible to make a turbine without knowing all the modern engineering concepts behind turbine design. James Watts and others were building engines decades before thermodynamics became a science. Water wheels made from wood date back millennia. So its possible for people to build some of these things without much prior study. Whatever they build will no doubt be less efficient, versatile, limited in capacity, and less reliable though.
Excellent. I find the scope of explanation very good, and not too basic.
I dont even work around steam turbines, but I love these types of videos.
3:56 Oh Uncle Ben, such a wise words
Oh
Please make a longer video next time with more explanation. Thanks.
Great high-quality service to learning.
Have learned more from this video. It was of much help to my future career.Continue uploading videos like this.
I hope that I pass my end sems after watching this video.
In the "Boiler, How it works" video you said that presussure would ideally remain the same but it increases a bit because of friction and other stuff... But in this video you are saying that pressure is source of energy and I understand that pressure is desired....
You add a pump priot to the heating process to increase pressure
@@anl2468 in boiler there will be a continuous supply of powerd coal which get heated, in boiler it also connected with pump for supply of water
Thank you for posting, nice video, very useful for my research. Thanks again.
As always, great video and explanation!
Answer me this, in school, everyone said "tur-bine". In industry (both steam, and gas stationary, as well as aero) I've always heard it pronounced "tur-bin"...like the head wrap.
That’s turban, u bright one!
Well it can be both, I have heard tur-bin and tur-bine.
Tur-bine
A steam engine wont work if you insult it.
Because it has high self eSTEAM.
Press M for Memes Lol wtf haha
Press M for Memes Haha
Ohhh :)

Kind sir, let me show you the door

Really well explained, good job!
EXPLAINED SO AMAZINGLY. THXS YOU MUCH
Sir please make a vedio of nuclear reactor in 3D
Rods make heat, heat evaporate water, steam turbine
But you must be careful of uranium rods flying through your feat. That's how disasters happen
what software do upu used for made the video?
Diego Lozano I suppose blender
you gys are changing the way of learning engg ...keep it up
Awesome video! I didn't know that I didn't fully understand how steam turbines worked
Is it possible to use something like a gear box to make turbine spin the generator faster? would this produce more power? from what I took from this video the turbine and the generator is one unit
dude
Brycen Ballinger You would only increase voltage, which is the force moving electricity around (kinda like pressure for water), but at the same time you would lower the current (number of electrons moving, kinda like flow rate for water). Since power is the product of the two, no you can't.
thank you very much for explaining that!!
Also frequency is dependant on speed so it would probably cause major damage
Brycen Ballinger Actually, some do. The final output must be 50 or 60 cycles per second or Hertz. That would require 3,000 or 3,600 rpm. But some turbines are run at slower speeds of, say, 1800 with a 2x transmission to get to 3,600. You understand that the USA used 60 Hertz while most of the rest of the world uses 50 Hertz so whatever speed the turbine is run at would go through a transmission that would speed it up to either 50 or 60 Hertz. I used to work in a GE gas turbine blade factory.
We need to move to sustainable forms of energy asap...
then go out and buy solar panels asap..
jawbreaker this can be sustainable. This isn't the ultimate source of energy, it's just the conversion.
some solar power plants also use this technique.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_tower
Steam turbines are just a tool for converting heat to rotational force. If you get that heat from a sustainable source, you'd have a sustainable steam turbine : )
Yes I am talking about the first chart that shows the coal plants are more than the rest.
Content is very compact and easy to understand... Thanks...
excellent very very very helpful, full of interesting knowledge. the explanation was so clear and simply could be understood. Thank you very much.
Hello
i from Vietnam country.
i need english sub of this video.
you can send for me?
thanks.
first
Yah !
Learn Engineering love your channel guys
Thank you for the compliments ! Please spread the word.
I used to teach this at Great Lakes Ill during my US Navy Days! Nicely done, new Sub.
Great video ! keep going your amazing work ! Thank you !
Increase views of all videos related to Chernobyl or nuclear plant.

But where does the boiler get the energy to heat the water?
noreaction often from coal
it depends but mainly its either burning chemical substances or from nuclears reaction
Wouldn't it be more efficient to produce energy directly from the material used to heat the water? I don't get why you wouldn't use nuclear energy directly to power a grid instead of steaming water with nuclear and then using that energy to power the same grid
And how would you convert nuclear Energy to Electricity without a Steam Turbine?
noreaction because it's not so safe
I really like these kind of videos, about to get into 3d software development and I hope this type of device is the first thing I build inside of it.
Of all the different kinds of industrial mechanical/construction work I do, repairing and overhauling steam turbines is my favorite
I directed gas turbine overhauls as well. All the headaches of a steam plant are concentrated in the gas turbine unit. I enjoyed them both as well as marine steam turbine propulsion and reduction gears.
the most complicated machine in this video is just an electrical generator
Why?
i'm a film school student. why the fuck am i here?
Weibin Zhou idk but leave
Weibin Zhou lol.. film school? never knew there is even such a thing.
Because you are in awe of an amazing 3D animation that you would not be capable of producing? Learn from the masters?
Because you secretly want to be an engineer.
Because curiosity knows no bounds. Nobody should limit himself to learning about his specific field of work, he should learn about /everything/. You're doing exactly what we all should
Ty guys it really helped me in creating a whole new idea for my project
