3. Complete the following sentences:

- As the piston moves forward, steam enters through A and...

-With this simple arrangement, the steam would leave the cylinder on exhaust at a temperature nearly as high as...

- In order to prevent this waste as far as possible...

When the piston has moved through about one-fourth of its stroke...

- After this cutting off of the steam from the steam chest the steam that has already entered the cylinder expands...

- During this expansion, piston is doing work...

- The heat contained in steam is thus converted...

4.Fill in the blanks with the missing words:

  • When the piston has reached the end of this , the slide

  • valve opens A and connects B to the chest.

  • Live steam is now again admitted to the behind the

  • piston and pushes the toward the left.

  • The dead steam in front of the piston is force .

  • The steam behind the expands until the piston has

  • reached the cud of its .

  • The cycle is then repeated, which allows the steam to escape when the pressure exceeds a certain value.

5.Choose the correct answer:

  1. In a steam engine a closely fitting piston moves:

  1. in a cylinder

  2. in the piston

  3. in the valve

  1. In order to prevent this waste as far as possible, an automatic cutoff is:

  1. repeated

  2. provided

  3. exceeded

  1. When the piston has moved through about one-fourth of its stroke, this slide valve automatically cuts off:

  1. the supply of steam

  2. the supply of the fan

  3. the supply of tubes

  1. When the piston has moved through about one-fourth of its stroke, this slide valve automatically cuts off:

  1. the supply of steam

  2. the supply of the fan

  3. the supply of tubes

STEAM TURBINES.

1.Read and translate the text.

Types and characteristics

Turbines have developed to their present forms along various lines according to steam conditions, condensing water available, types of service, and requirements as to cost and economy; and this process is still going on , with all builders continually changing, experimenting with , and improving their product.

Definitions.

A steam turbines may be defined as a form of heat engine in which the energy of the steam is transformed into kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the resulting jet is in turn converted into force doing work on rings of blading mounted on a rotating-part.

The usual turbines consists of four fundamental parts: the rotor which carries the blades or buckets; the stator consisting of cylinder and casing, which are often combined and within which the rotor turns; the nozzles or flow passages for the steam; and the frame or base. Cylinder, casing, and the frame are often combined, particularly in small turbines. For adjusting the energy supply to the turbine to suit the load to be carried and maintaining constant speed, a lubricating system, piping for steam supply and exhaust, and a condensing system.
