Mechanical Engineering :: Steam Nozzles and Turbines
-
In velocity compounding of an impulse turbine, the expansion of steam takes place in a nozzle or a set of nozzles from the boiler pressure to condenser pressure.
-
The critical pressure ratio is given by (where p1 = Initial pressure of steam, and p2 = Pressure of steam at throat or critical pressure)
-
A steam turbine, in which a part of the steam after partial expansion, is used for process heating and the remaining steam is further expanded for power generation, is known as
-
The stage efficiency is the ratio of energy supplied to the blades per kg of steam to the total energy supplied per stage per kg of steam.
-
Stage efficiency is also known as
