In Steam Turbine using superheated steam as an inlet steam,
What happens if I use air in place of steam with the same
parameters ? Will is work or not ?

Answer Posted / kumar

if u want to rotate the steam turbine with air, u have to
rotate a large compressor.

support u need turbine of 3MW, u have to rotate the
compressor with approximately 10MW. this will give
efficiency in minus values.

here temperature is not the parameter, only required
pressure to rotate the turbine is the main parameter.
