- 3. 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.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss

- 5. De-Laval turbine is a
Options- A. simple impulse turbine
- B. simple reaction turbine
- C. impulse-reaction turbine
- D. none of these Discuss
- 6. 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.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
- 7. In an ideal impulse turbine, the
Options- A. absolute velocity at the inlet of moving blade is equal to that at the outlet
- B. relative velocity at the inlet of the moving blade is equal to that at the outlet
- C. axial velocity at inlet is equal to that at the outlet
- D. whirl velocity at inlet is equalto that at the outlet Discuss
- 8. The effect of bleeding is that
Options- A. it increases the thermodynamic efficiency of the turbine
- B. boiler is supplied with hot water
- C. it decreases the power developed by the turbine
- D. all of the above Discuss
- 9. A single stage turbine is not used because it requires large reduction gearing due to very high rotational speed.
Options- A. Agree
- B. Disagree Discuss
- 10. Which of the following statement is wrong?
Options- A. The critical pressure gives the velocity of steam at the throat equal to the velocity of sound.
- B. The flowin the convergent portion of the nozzle is sub-sonic.
- C. The flow in the divergent portion of the nozzle is super-sonic.
- D. To increase the velocity of steam above sonic velocity (super-sonic) by expanding steam below the critical pressure, the divergent portion for the nozzle is not necessary. Discuss
