1. For a Parson's reaction turbine, if ?1 and ?2 are fixed blade angles at inlet and exit respectively and ?1 and ?2 are the moving blade angles at entrance and exit respectively, then
Correct Answer: The efficiency of steam turbines is greater than steam engines.
6. The efficiency of an impulse turbine is maximum when (where Vb = Blade speed, V = Absolute velocity of steam entering the blade, and ? = Nozzle angle)
8. In a 50% reaction turbine stage, tangential component of absolute velocity at rotor inlet is 537 m/s and the blade velocity is 454 m/s. The power output in kW of steam will be
