    This document discusses steam turbines, including their classification and operating principles. Steam turbines can be impulse turbines like de Laval, Curtis, and Rateau turbines, or reaction turbines like Parson turbines. Impulse turbines use the impulse principle where steam's velocity and kinetic energy are changed by stationary blades, while reaction turbines use the reaction principle where steam's pressure and kinetic energy are changed by rotating blades. Compounding methods like pressure, velocity, and pressure-velocity compounding are used to improve impulse turbine efficiency. The document also covers topics like flow of steam through turbines, forces on blades, power produced, efficiencies, heat drop, reheat factor, governing, and losses in steam turbines.
