Title: Summarize how turbines are used to generate electricity.
Course: Engineered Energy Systems (20903-II) > Section: Exploring Applications of Engineered Systems

Summary should include

- steam-driven (e.g., coal, nuclear, biomass)
- gas-driven (e.g., natural gas, compressed air, hydrogen)
- wind
- water (e.g., oceans, pumped storage).

Process/Skill Questions:

- How are turbines used in natural gas transmission?
- How do a turbine and generator work together to produce electricity?
- How does the nature of the fluid affect the efficiency of the turbine?
- Why can a turbine never be 100 percent efficient?
