GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Steam turbines are used to generate the majority of the world’s electricity and they accounted for about 45% of U.S. electricity generation in 2021. Most steam turbines have a boiler in which a fuel is burned to produce hot water and steam in a heat exchanger, and the steam powers a turbine that drives a generator.

Detailed explanation-2: -As hot combustion gas expands through the turbine, it spins the rotating blades. The rotating blades perform a dual function: they drive the compressor to draw more pressurized air into the combustion section, and they spin a generator to produce electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -A steam turbine power generating plant is the most common type of power plant today. This type of plant converts heat into electricity usually using a boiler, and a turbine to drive an electric generator.
