In a reaction turbine, the fixed blades and moving blades are of the same shape but reversed in direction. The angle of the discharging tip is 20°. The mean blade velocity is 200 m/s. The axial velocity of flow of steam is half of the mean blade velocity. Determine the inlet angles of blades.

Correct Answer: 53°
Given, Cbl = 200 m/s, α = 20° Cf1 = Cf2 = 0.5(Cbl) = 0.5(200) = 100 m/s Steps of constructioSelect a suitable scale and draw a line LM to represent Cbl (= 200 m/s). Draw line 1-2 parallel to line LM at a distance corresponding to 100 m/s from line LM. At M, draw a line at an angle of 20° (α) to cut the line 1-2 at S. Join LS. Produce L to meet the perpendicular drawn from S at P. Thus inlet triangle is completed. By measurement: θ = 53° (= Ф).

In a single row impulse turbine, the absolute velocity of steam leaving the turbine is 900 m/s. The nozzle angel is 20°. The mean blade speed is 300 m/s. The inlet blade angle is equal to the outlet blade angle. Determine the angle made by the discharging steam with the tangent of the wheel at the exit of moving blade. Neglect friction on turbine blades.

In a reaction turbine, the fixed blades and the moving blades are of the same shape but reversed in direction. The mean blade speed is 30 m/s. The absolute velocity of the steam leaving the nozzle is 90 m/s and the absolute velocity of steam leaving the moving blade is 64 m/s. Determine the nozzle angle.

If for a certain simple impulse turbine, the blade inlet and outlet angles are 35° and 30° respectively and the relative velocity of steam to moving blade at entrance and exit are 350 m/s and 320 m/s respectively, determine the axial thrust on the bearings. The turbine has a steam flow rate of 20 kg/s.

In a single row impulse turbine, steam leaves the nozzle at 600 m/s. The nozzle angle and the mean blade speed is 25° and 200 m/s. The blade velocity coefficient is 0.8. Determine the blade outlet angle if the steam leaves the turbine blades axially.
