A single-stage steam turbine operates on the basic principle of converting thermal energy from steam into mechanical work. High-pressure steam enters the turbine and passes through a set of fixed nozzles or blades that direct the steam flow onto the rotor blades. As the steam expands through these blades, it imparts kinetic energy to the rotor, causing it to spin and generate mechanical power. This process is governed by the principles of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, ensuring efficient energy conversion.
