Amit Kumar Das presented on industrial turbines. Turbines are rotary devices that extract energy from moving fluids like water, steam, gas or air and convert it into useful work. There are several types of turbines including water, steam, gas and wind turbines. A steam turbine in particular works by converting the thermal energy of steam into mechanical energy through its expansion and high velocity as it passes through nozzles and strikes the rotor blades, causing the turbine shaft to turn. Turbines have major applications in power generation and marine industries.
