This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the maintenance and repair of steam turbines. Students will learn how to inspect and troubleshoot steam turbines, as well as how to identify and address common issues. The course will also cover topics such as the proper use of tools and safety protocols when
A steam turbine or steam turbine engine is a machine or heat engine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work utilising a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884. It revolutionized marine propulsion and navigation to a significant extent. Fabrication of a modern steam turbine involves advanced metalwork to form high-grade steel alloys into precision parts using technologies that first became available in the 20th century; continued advances in durability and efficiency of steam turbines remains central to the energy economics of the 21st century. The largest steam turbine ever built is the 1,770 MW Arabelle steam turbine built by Arabelle Solutions, two units of which will be installed at Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Station, England.
