Steam turbine is one of the important prime movers. It is not only used in rotating equipment such as compressors

pumps and blast furnace fans

but also constitutes the three main bodies of thermal power generation with boilers and generators. By using CiteSpace 8.5 software

this paper analyzes 1 543 related articles in the field of steam turbines to reveal the authors

institutions

journals

research status and hot spots of steam turbine research.The result shows that

Xi'an Jiaotong University in China has published the most research papers about steam turbine

JUN LI is the scholar with the largest number of publications

the journal J ENG GAS TURB POWER plays an important role in promoting the development of the steam turbine field

the research direction of steam turbines is not limited to the efficiency and fault diagnosis of steam turbines

but also involves many aspects

such as steam turbine rotors

blades and steam fluidity. With the advancement of science and technology

the future steam turbine field will be expandable in terms of steam turbine materials

cogeneration

and improvement of steam parameters.
