    Question

    The process of maintaining the speed of a steam turbine constant for various load conditions is known as:

    A.

    Governing

    B.

    Bleeding

    C.

    Cooling

    D.

    Reheating

    Correct option is A

    Governing
    · Governing is the process used in steam turbines to maintain a constant speed regardless of varying load conditions. It involves adjusting the flow of steam to the turbine to ensure that the turbine runs at a constant speed, which is crucial for the consistent operation of generators and other machinery connected to the turbine.
    · Bleeding refers to the process of extracting steam from certain stages of the turbine for heating purposes or other applications.
    · Cooling is the process of reducing the temperature of the turbine or its components.
    · Reheating is the process of reheating steam after it has expanded partially in the turbine to improve efficiency.
    Thus, governing is the correct term for maintaining the speed of a steam turbine constant under various load conditions.
