History of Steam Turbines

Category: Business

The modern Steam Turbine was invented in 1884 by Charles Parsons and in 1980 Carl G. P. de Laval designed a high-speed small reaction turbine that worked at about 40,000 rpm. De Laval then developed Single Stage impulse turbine that used converging-diverging nozzles. C.E.A. Rateau developed the first multistage steam turbine. At about the same time Charles Curtis developed the Velocity-compounded impulse turbine. https://turtleturbines.com/history-of-steam-turbines/
