XII century was marked by the appearance of the firststeam engine. This was the event when mechanized machines appeared in industry and technology, gradually replacing human labor. The development of industry did not stand still. The whole history of its development is characterized by the search for solutions by the inventors of different countries of the same task - the creation of a pore turbine.
It can be argued that the history of the invention of turbinesIt originates in the XIX century, when the Swedish scientist Karl Patrick Laval invented the milk separator. In search of a solution to the question of increasing the speed in this device, Karl invented a steam turbine, which was designed at the end of the XIX century. The turbine had the appearance of a wheel with blades, a jet of steam coming out of the pipe, pressed on these blades and the wheel spun. A scientist picked up tubes for steam supply for a long time, and as a result of lengthy experiments, he concluded that the tube should be conical in shape. This device is used to this day, and has the name "Laval nozzle". Despite the fact that the invention of Laval was quite simple at first glance, the device, it became a miracle of engineering. And after a certain period of time, scientists and theorists proved that the invention of steam turbines using the Loval nozzle gives the highest result.
English scientist Charles Parsons also contributeda huge contribution to the development of industry. They were connected to a steam turbine and a generator of electricity, so the turbine could produce electricity. After fifteen years, Parsons invented the high-efficiency jet turbine. Soon more than three hundred jet turbines were used to produce electricity, and ten years later the world's first power station was constructed using a jet steam turbine. Thus, Parsons perfected the invention of turbines according to the Laval method. Parson also built a ship using a steam turbine drive, after which the turbines began to be installed on many ships. Over time, these turbines were also used in thermal power plants.
Далее история изобретения турбин продвигается к At the beginning of the 20th century, when the French inventor Auguste Rato designed a multi-stage steam turbine, in which optimal pressure drop indicators were calculated for each of the turbine stages.
After all, by American scientist Glen Curtis,The turbine was developed using a completely new system, it had small dimensions and a reliable design. These turbines were used in the construction of the propulsion systems of ships, they were installed first on the destroyers, then on warships and, finally, on passenger ships.
Thus, the history of the invention of turbinesreveals several ways to find a convenient and economical heat engine by scientists of the XIX century. Some inventors developed a heat engine in which the fuel would burn in the cylinder, so this engine would be well placed in the transport. Other scientists improved the steam engine in order to increase its power and efficiency.
На сегодняшний день история изобретения турбин It starts with such great names as Laval, Parsons and Curtis. All of these scientists and inventors have made a huge contribution to the development of industry and transportation links throughout the world. All their achievements were of great importance for all mankind. And the most important was the spread of this type of energy, like electricity. Currently, the inventions of these scientists are widely used throughout the world in the construction of ships and power plants.
