Choose an option
  • A
    60°
  • B
    90°
  • C
    180°
  • D
    270°

Answer

Correct Answer: 90°

Explanation

ConceptBlade motion is tangential; axial discharge means the absolute exit velocity is along the machine axis, which is perpendicular to the tangential direction.

ThereforeThe angle between exit direction and blade motion is 90°.

Final Answer90°
