A limited number of steam turbine railroad locomotives were manufactured. The output of the steam turbine was . This can be achieved by means of governing in a steam turbine. The Rankine cycle is a model used to predict the performance of steam turbine systems. All ships were capable of , driven by a single screw steam turbine generating . The first was the introduction of the steam turbine. Heat storage enables better utilization of the steam turbine. To overcome the wastage of steam compounding of steam turbine is used. This is illustrated in the drawing of the German 1905 AEG marine steam turbine. Thermodynamic benefits are that daily steam turbine startup losses are eliminated. A steam turbine locomotive engine is a steam locomotive driven by a steam turbine. Her innovative steam turbine engines also made her faster. In the 1930s, a pair of steam turbine locomotives were tried but rejected. Another possibility is to make more electric power via a steam turbine. A gas turbine is a rotary machine somewhat similar in principle to a steam turbine.
