Pressure compounding in turbines

ID: pressure-compounding-in-turbines

Pressure compounding is a method used in steam turbines to optimize their efficiency and performance. It involves the arrangement of multiple stages within the turbine, where each stage is designed to utilize the pressure drop of the steam effectively. ### Key Concepts of Pressure Compounding: 1. **Multi-Stage Design**: In a pressure-compounded turbine, steam passes through multiple stages, typically involving a series of rotating blades and stationary vanes.
