 After this lesson, you will be able to describe the basic components comprising a typical steam turbine and explain the purpose of each. In addition, you will be able to trace the steam flow path through a typical steam turbine. • Describe the energy conversion taking place in a steam turbine • Explain the difference between impulse and reaction blading and identify where each is found in a steam turbine • Discuss the design characteristics of a steam turbine casing • Explain the difference between thrust bearings and journal bearings and identify where each is found in a typical steam turbine • Recall the steam flow path through a high, intermediate, and low-pressure turbine
