Question: Problem # 1 An impulse turbine at the mean radius is designed to provide ( 1 8 5 mathrm { ~kJ }

Problem \# 1
An impulse turbine at the mean radius is designed to provide \(185\mathrm{~kJ}/\mathrm{kg}\) of specific work. The mean radius is 0.275 m and the hub to tip ratio is 0.75. The axial velocity component of the flow is \(150\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\). Consider free vortex flow at the inlet of the rotor and no swirl at the exit.
a) Determine the rotating speed of the rotor and find the leading and trailing edge angle of the rotor blade at the mean radius.
b) Determine the guide nozzles blade exit angle at the mean radius.
c) For the tip radius, determine the leading and trailing edge angle of the rotor blade and find the training edge angle of the guide nozzles.
d) Find the degree of reaction at the tip radius.
e) Find the total pressure ratio of the turbine stage if the total inlet temperature is \(1200{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and the efficiency of the stage is \(84\%\). Consider \(\mathrm{C}_{p}=1.124\)\(\mathrm{kJ}/\mathrm{kg}.\mathrm{K}\), and \(\gamma=1.34\).
