Abstract
This paper discusses briefly the concept of a highly rated steam turbine, making use of the well-known laws of dynamic similarity, and demonstrates the economic advantages of using highly rated machines in appropriate circumstances. A number of design and constructional features of highly rated modern turbines are described and illustrated, together with examples of complete machines. Operational and control aspects and solutions to a number of special problems are discussed.
