Why take this course?
This introductory steam-turbine course explains the thermal dynamics of a steam cycle and how the key gas path components fit into this cycle. It covers work, enthalpy, phase and heat-flow diagrams, flow direction, blade types and common industrial turbine configurations. This self-paced online course includes video lectures, and a completion certificate with PDH credits.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• understand what a steam turbine is and how it operates
• understand the key thermodynamic principles behind turbine performance
• can explain the conversion of steam energy into mechanical motion
• understand turbine classifications based on flow direction and blade type
• can identify common turbine configurations used in industry

About the course
Join us in this course to learn about steam turbines in an industrial setting. You will first be introduced to the thermodynamics of steam turbines, covering concepts such as work done and enthalpy, followed by phase diagrams and heat flow diagrams based on industry-relevant steam turbines.
The course will then explain the different classifications of steam turbines, starting with radial vs. axial and impulse vs. reaction blading, before moving on to velocity compounding. In the third part, the classification will be explored in more detail, covering topics such as condensing turbines, extraction turbines, back-pressure turbines, reheat turbines, and the role of the API 611 and API 612 standards.
