🔍 Key Concepts

• Axial thrust and how it is created in reaction and impulse turbine stages • The purpose and typical use of a dummy piston (balance piston) in steam turbines • How thrust is normally absorbed or balanced in high-pressure turbine sections

💭 Think About

• Think about where the steam pressure is highest in a high‑pressure turbine and which side of the rotor that pressure acts on. • Ask yourself: what mechanical feature is specifically installed to oppose that one‑direction force along the shaft? • Consider whether gears or pinions are normally designed to carry steady axial thrust, or mainly to transmit torque (rotational force).

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what a dummy piston/balance piston actually does in marine steam turbines. • Check whether equalizing holes in turbine wheels mainly affect axial thrust, or are primarily used for pressure equalization/capacity control within stages. • Confirm how thrust is normally transmitted and absorbed in marine turbine installations (e.g., thrust bearings vs. gears).
