Parsons is known as the father of career counseling.
Parsons was born in London on June 13th, 1854, and died in Kingston, Jamaica on February 11th, 1931. Parsons graduated from Cambridge University with an honorary degree in mathematics.
I used to be the director of British power supply and engineering company. In 1898, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society, and from 195 to 196, he was the chairman of the Institute of Maritime Engineers. From 1919 to 192, he was the chairman of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.
in p>1877, Parsons began to design steam turbines according to the principle of water turbines. Based on the principle that high-pressure steam flow passes through a series of turbine blades along the axial direction, which makes the blades rotate at high speed and converts kinetic energy into mechanical work, he developed a multi-stage reactive steam turbine, which is matched with the high-speed generator he made.
in 1884, it obtained the patent right of axial-flow multistage reactive steam turbine. He used floating bearings and screw pumps for lubricating oil in the steam turbine. His steam turbine generator set has a speed as high as 18, rpm, a voltage of 1 volts and a power of 7.5 kilowatts, which has revolutionized steam power and power generation equipment.
In p>1888, a 75kW steam turbine was built for Newcastle Power Station. In 1891, he installed a condenser on the steam turbine, which greatly improved the thermal efficiency of the steam turbine and reduced the fuel consumption rate.
Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company was established in p>1894. He built the "Turbo Nia" warship driven by a 15 kW steam turbine generator set, which was held in the warship competition in 1897.
With a record speed of 34.5 knots/hour (about 64 kilometers/hour) and good maneuverability, it won the championship and caused great vibration, thus creating a new era of propelling ships with steam turbines. Parsons developed a gear reducer in 191.
