Explain working of turbine (expanders).

The expansion of a gas in a nozzle to produce a high-velocity stream is a process that converts internal energy into kinetic energy, which in turn is converted into shaft work when the stream impinges on blades attached to a rotating shaft. Thus a turbine (or expander) consists of alternate sets of nozzles and rotating blades through which vapor or gas flows in a steady-state expansion process. The overall result is the conversion of the internal energy of a high-pressure stream into shaft work. When steam provides the motive force as in most power plants, the device is called a turbine; when it is a high-pressure gas, such as ammonia or ethylene in a chemical plant, the device is usually called an expander.
