Abstract
Steam turbines occur in mechanical drive applications in process engineering. When the plant has small power generation requirements, the power plant selected is generally a gas turbine. Larger facilities often find it economical to make most of their own power using combination of gas and steam turbines. There is also an emerging global trend, of oil, gas and petrochemical facilities to make their own power and sell the excess to the local national power grid. However, because of the relative proportion of mechanical drive versus power generation applications that a process engineer is likely to see, this chapter is essentially devoted to mechanical drive turbines.
