Mechanical Engineering :: Steam Nozzles and Turbines
-
The efficiency of an impulse turbine is maximum when (where Vb = Blade speed, V = Absolute velocity of steam entering the blade, and α = Nozzle angle)
-
In impulse turbines, when friction is neglected, the relative velocity of steam at outlet tip of the blade is __________ the relative velocity of steam at inlet tip of the blade.
-
The friction present between the steam and the nozzle surfaces reduces the heat drop by
-
Degree of reaction is defined as the ratio of
A.
heat drop in fixed blades to the heat drop in moving blades |
B.
heat drop in moving blades to the heat drop in fixed blades |
C.
heat drop in moving blades to the heat drop in fixed blades plus heat drop in moving blades |
D.
heat drop in fixed blades plus heat drop in moving blades to the heat drop in moving blades |
