Mechanical Engineering :: Steam Nozzles and Turbines
-
A single stage turbine is not used because it requires large reduction gearing due to very high rotational speed.
-
In turbines, the fluid undergoes a continuous steady flow process and the speed of flow is
-
A nozzle is said to be a convergent-divergent nozzle, when the cross-section of a nozzle first decreases from its entrance to throat and then increases from its throat to exit.
-
In an impulse reaction turbine, the pressure drops gradually and continuously over
-
When the inlet pressure of steam is equal to the exit pressure, then
