STEAM TURBINE AT THE UNIVERSITY

During the summer a DeLaval steam turbine has been purchases by the University and has been placed in position. It represents the highest type of mechanical skill in its construction. It is of 30-horse power, of high speed, the main shaft making 2000 revolutions and the turbine shaft 22,000 revolutions per minute. This turbine is both condensing and non-condensing. It is similar to the turbine which is used in the boat, "Turbina," which made the very unusual speed of 45 miles per hour. 

This turbine is designed for power purposes, particularly for driving electrical machinery. It will be used by the students of the engineering department for experimental purposes.
