Mechanical Engineering :: Steam Nozzles and Turbines
-
A single stage impulse turbine with a diameter of 1.2 m runs at 3000 r.p.m. If the blade speed ratio is 0.42, then the inlet velocity of steam will be
-
The flow of steam is super-sonic
-
For maximum efficiency of an impulse turbine, the steam should leave the blades at right angles to their motion.
-
De-Laval turbine is a
-
The impulse turbine rotor efficiency will have a maximum value of 0.5 cos2 α, where α is the nozzle exit flow angle, if theblades are equiangular
-
When the cross-section of a nozzle increases continuously from entrance to exit, it is called a
-
Rateau turbine is
-
The ratio of the work delivered at the turbine shaft to the heat supplied is called overall thermal efficiency of turbine.
