Why take this course?
This self-paced course introduces the fundamentals of steam turbines — their purpose, working principles, and main classifications based on flow direction and blade type. It provides a clear foundation for anyone involved in turbine operation or maintenance, or those seeking to refresh their technical understanding before moving on to more specialized topics. You’ll learn how steam turbines convert thermal energy into mechanical power, and how design variations influence performance and application across industries.
What you'll learn
After this course, you,
• understand what a steam turbine is and how it operates,
• know the key thermodynamic principles behind turbine performance,
• can explain the process of energy conversion from steam to 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.
