r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Best industrial turbine (Mekanism v10)
June 21, 2021 -
I am trying to get the best industrial turbine possible. I know the max total size is 17x17x18, but I dont know how tall the rotor can be without limiting too much the vent ammount I can fit.
Does anyone know the right size of the turbine to get the maximum flow possible?

I really can't agree with them being most efficient. The most efficient turbine will always be the one with max rotor length, as efficiency is nothing other than the relation of energy produced to steam intake. I believe the minimum viable in that regard is 11x18x11. Can scale up to 17x18x17 if you really need more vent space. But really, are you generating that much steam? Probably not. EDIT: mistype

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Efficient Mekanism Boiler/Turbine?
November 28, 2018 -
I've been watching videos on how to set these up and I have the basic grasp of it, however it seems like I'm not making much power for the effort it takes. What is the best way to generate a lot of steam with a Thermoelectric Boiler? It doesn't seem to produce enough to make the turbines spin much. Is there a most efficient design for both machines?

Using the boiler directly for powering a turbine is pretty much ill advised, you'll be using tons of fuelwood heaters to get any heat up for boiling rate. Best use of the boiler really is as a steam accumulator that you can dump into a turbine if needed. Minimal water volume, maximum steam volume.

If you're trying to use the resistive heater, stop trying. They take slightly more power to produce steam than the power you'll get from that steam with a 28 blade turbine. If you want crazy steam production, set up a Mekanism Fusion reactor. If you want tips on how to build the turbine, I found 11x11 was the smallest I could make the base while still fitting 28 blades.

I'm still testing, but the 11 x 11 is a good one. But sad that there are limit on the height of the Turbine. If you put lot of blades, you're limited for Vent and the power drop quickly. More than the steam, i think the balance between blade and vent are more important. Also, the Cryo Cable don't work sometime with the power output of the Turbine. But i love that you can use the Resistive Heater with the Thermal Evaporation Plant. No need to put it in a desert ou something like that.

... I mean, powah's nitro reactors do 250k rf/t, roughly. Way easier to set up, arguably less costly, and only uses 3x4x3 space (36 blocks), as opposed to your 7x7x15 (735 blocks) reactor. For 1m rf/t, you only need 4 of those, which is 144 blocks, roughly a fifth of the total space used by your reactor. :P

I am intending to use extreme reactors for the first time. I'm tempted to just do straight RF, but maybe the turbines aren't all that bad to set up and the power difference is vast. I'd appreciate anyone's advice.
I suppose advanced generator turbines would be a third option

Edit: My testing was done in E2:E where the effectiveness of ER was buffed. With default configs Mekanism is better than ER turbines. A list of the most efficient Mekanism turbine designs can be found here. Short answer: If you have the materials and are set on using an extreme reactor, the ER turbines are not hard to set up and are also a lot more efficient than the Mekanism ones for small steam production. If you are fine using a Mekanism reactor go with the Mekanism turbines. Note: Mekanism turbines are a LOT more OP if you use the ridiculous Mekanism steam generation methods The reason the ER turbines are better with ER reactors is because the Mekanism turbines need a stupid amount of steam that just isn't possible with the ER reactors. This is a fairly small turbine, but produces 5.85 MRF and uses 512000 mB/t of steam. The Mekanism turbines become much more op when you use Mekanism to fuel them. It's not too well known but the heat from the fusion reactor can also power the multiblock boiler, and it ends up being stupidly efficient. This is my setup in an E2:E world that gives up to 34.28 MRF/t with an injection rate of 6 by going the external boiler route. To give some context, an injection rate of 6 with nothing else will give 180 kRF/t. If the reactor is watercooled it gives 45 kRF/t passively and produces 67500 mB/t of steam which can give a further ~770k rf/t in a turbine. Making the relatively easy boiler for 40x the power output is pretty worth it. To go even further, a reactor with an injection rate of 10 can power a max size boiler to make 57 700000 mB/t, enough to produce 1.65 GRF/t. TL:DR Mekanism has a stupid power curve.

By default, a maxed out Extreme Reactors Turbine can produce ~25,000 RF/t (RF = FE = µI = etc.). That's the maximum number of blades (80) with the maximum steam input (2,000 mb/t) and a really good coil material. More power than that requires more Turbines. Generating 2,000 mb/t of Steam with an Extreme Reactor is really easy. Like, this one is a 5x5x5 interior, and with the control rods inserted 68% of the way significantly slowing down its usage. A good reactor design that only needs to generate 2,000 mb/t of Steam can be throttled down a lot and significantly save on fuel usage. If you un-throttle that example reactor, then it produces over 6,000 mb/t of Steam, so enough to run 3 of those maxed out Turbines for ~75,000 RF/t. All of that takes a lot of space though, so if that is somehow your main constraint and/or fueling a reactor is absurdly cheap, then going with a direct power reactor can certainly be better. Also, as a tip; Turbines are set up to be run in closed-coolant cycles. A Reactor turns water into Steam. A Turbine turns that Steam back into Water. Don't waste time or resources thinking about how to supply 2 freaking buckets of water to a reactor in a single tick. As for Mekanism, it has a reputation for being OP. I don't have much personal experience with its Turbine, but I am fairly certain it is off the scales level of absurd. I mean, it has a Fusion Reactor which easily produces multiple millions of RF/t from processed water, and the Turbine is set up to enhance that.
