Chapter 1 reviewed method of proportional representation

Usage examples of turbines.

The turbines aft of maneuvering, so loud before, like jet engines screaming mere feet away, spun down, their steam gone.

The deck began to tremble as the huge twin steam propulsion turbines aft came up to full revolutions, blasting the Tampa through the water at one hundred percent reactor power.

Those forward turbines are the SSTGs and the aft ones are the main engines.

The explosion blew apart what had been left of the superstructure, taking with it the masts and antennae as the ship erupted into flames amidships, the fire migrating aft to the fuel tanks, where ruptured fuel lines spewed volatile fuel for the gas turbines into the bilges.

The steam in the headers filled the space with roaring heat and the sound of the turbines whining at thirty-six hundred RPM aft of maneuvering was the sweetest sound Vaughn could remember hearing.

Finally, his F-14 was lined up on catapult one, the deck sailors attaching the catapult to the nose gear Collins checked his instruments, the twin turbines purring aft, waiting to be kicked into full thrust.

Down the flight deck below, the jet turbines of twelve Harbin Z-9A helicopters began to spool up, reaching full power a few moments later, the main rotors of the big machines beginning to spin, beating the rainy air of the storm-darkened dusk.

Commander Yen Chi-tzu maneuvered the heavy airplane to the end of the runway and coaxed the old turbines to full power, his eye on the number-three engine tachometer and oil-pressure indicator.

You know nothing of nuclear reactors, turbines, propulsion, hydrology, electronics, engineering, mechanics, missiles, navigation, sonar, or torpedoes.

And the submarine was in excellent shape, moving through the quiet, deep caverns of the oceans, with the minimum of stress on the turbines, the reactor running silkily, watched by a top-class team of newly qualified Iranian Nuclear Engineers.

Petropavlovsk, was running perfectly, the reactor ticking along at low pressure, the turbines at cruising speed.

California, her great turbines moving her 8,000-ton weight effortlessly, under the deft guidance of Captain Ben Badr.

Incredulously, they watched it dive and hit the massive generator building, which contained twenty-four 200-foot-long, 10-foot-high turbines, stacked in sets of three beneath the 80-foot-high roof.

Los Angeles was continuing steadily away to the southeast, its big turbines idling along at only five knots, 300 feet below the surface.

Low steam pressure in the steam generators starved the propulsion turbines and turbine generators in the engine room.
