Overview
This 3-hour
online course describes the basic principles of steam turbines. Vector diagrams
are used to explain the dynamics involved in impulse and reaction turbine

the various stages and turbine configurations. Also, classifications by stage
design, steam supply and exhaust conditions, casing and shaft arrangement,
direction of steam flow, and numbers of exhaust stages are presented and
described.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
