Turbine

The steam tribune is prime mover in which a part of that form of energy of the steam evidenced by a high pressure and temperature is converted into kinetic energy of the steam and then into shaft work.

The basic advantage of the tribune over other forms of prime movers is the absence of any reciprocating part. With only rotating motion involved high speeds are attainable. Since power is directly proportional to torque time speed an increase in the rotative speed materially decreases the value of the torque required for a given power output. A decrease in the required torque permits a reduction in the size of the prime mover by reducing the length of the torque arm or the force acting on the torque arms also with the absence of any reciprocating parts vibration is greatly minimized. Owing to the high rotative speeds available with relatively little vibration the size and the cost of the driven machinery of the building space and of the foundations are greatly reduced. These advantages are most apparent in large prime movers and permit the steam turbine to be built in size of over 350000 hp in single units and 750000 hp in compound units.

Ex.1.Read the following text from a logistics company magazine about new trends in third-party logistics. Then label the paragraphs with the correct headings from the list.

Todays role of major providers * Changing logistics requirements for manufacturers * 3PL in the past * New challenges for 3PL * Change in logistics concepts

Recent trends in 3PL

1____________________

Until a few years ago,companies used to outsource only parts of their logistics operations to providers specializing in services such as distribution or warehousing. A single company sometimes had several third-party logistics providers (3PLs).

2____________________

The globalization of trade and increasing demand for services,however,has led to a drastic shift in logistics concepts and management with an impact on both producers and logistics providers.

3____________________

As far as manufacturers are concerned,logistics management has become a lot more complex.Bynow,many of them have learned that outsourcing single segments to different providers has not really made their logistics operations more efficient. That is why they are looking for providers who can provide a higher level of service and more comprehensive supply chain solutions.

4_____________________

For 3PLs all over the world,requirements keep getting more demanding with customers asking for a wider range of logistics solutions.Apart from that,logistics providers today are facing an increasingly tough and highly competitive market. In recent years,growing pressure on prices has led to a decrease in profit margins. In order to compensate for this,many third-party logistics providers now offer value-added services for their customers. Due to fierce competition in the 3PL market,however,experts predict that only the big international players will be able to work profitably in the future.

5_____________________

The big global players,also called super-3PLs,can provide their customers with comprehensive supply chain or end-to-end solutions. These services usually include forwarding,transportation,consolidation,customsbrokerage,warehousing,anddistribution,as well as a range of value-added services.
