DAll of these
Answer
Correct Answer: All of these
Explanation
ConceptMulti-staging can be implemented via:
- Velocity compounding (Curtis): several rows of moving blades to extract jet velocity.
- Pressure compounding (Rateau): multiple nozzles with pressure drops split over stages.
- Reaction (Parsons): pressure drop shared between fixed and moving blades over many stages.
