A velocity compounded, twostage, impulse turbine was designed for an axial discharge of steam. The velocity of the steam leaving the turbine is ms
The inlet angle of the moving blade of the second stage is
The inlet and outlet angles of the first row of moving blades are equal.
The inlet angle of the fixed blades is
The relative velocity of the steam at the turbine outlet is ms
The mass flow rate of the steam is kgs
There is a loss of velocity across all blades due to friction.
Use a scale of cm ms and construct velocity diagrams for the turbine in your answer book. Indicate the length of all the lines as well as the magnitude of the angels on the diagrams.
Determine from the velocity diagrams
The blade velocity in ms
The nozzle velocity in ms
The exit angle of the fixed blades
The total axial thrust on the shaft in Newtons
The power developed by the turbine in kW
The diagram efficiency
