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.
If the critical pressure ratio for steam is 0.546, then the steam is initially
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
In an impulse turbine, steam expands
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.
In an ideal impulse turbine, the
The effect of bleeding is that
A single stage turbine is not used because it requires large reduction gearing due to very high rotational speed.
Which of the following statement is wrong?
During flow through a nozzle, no heat is supplied or rejected by the steam.
