Question: ( b ) In a single stage impulse turbine the isentropic enthalpy drop of 2 0 0 k J k g occurs in the nozzle

(b) In a single stage impulse turbine the isentropic enthalpy drop of 200kJkg occurs in the nozzle having efficiency of 96% and nozzle angle of 15. The blade velocity coefficient is 0.96 and ratio of blade speed to steam velocity is 0.5. The steam mass flow rate is 20kgs and velocity of steam entering is 50ms. Determine
(i) the blade angles at inlet and outlet if the steam enters blades smoothly and leaves axially.
(ii) the blade efficiency
(iii) the power developed in kW
(iv) the axial thrust.
Solve using velocity diagram.
( b ) In a single stage impulse turbine the
