Correct Answer: relative velocity at the inlet of the moving blade is equal to that at the outlet
3. 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.
5. In a Parson's turbine stage, blade velocity is 320 m/s at the mean radius and rotor blade exit angle is 30°. For minimum kinetic energy of the steam leaving the stage, the steam velocity at the exit of the rotor will be
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.
Correct Answer: 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.
7. During flow through a nozzle, no heat is supplied or rejected by the steam.
