UNIT-3

1.Explain the differences between an impulse turbine and a reaction turbine.

2.Explain with the help of neat sketch a single-stage impulse turbine, also
explain the pressure and velocity variations along the axial direction.
(OR)
Prove that the diagram or blade efficiency of a single stage reaction turbine
4. Derive the expression for maximum blade efficiency in a single stage impulse turbine.
5.In a De-Laval turbine steam issues from blades the nozzle with a velocity of
1200 m/s. The nozzle angle is 200, the mean blade velocity is 400 m/s, and the
inlet and outlet angles of blades are equal. The mass of steam flowing through
the turbine per hour is 1000 kg. Calculate: (i) Blade angles (ii) Relative velocity
of steam entering the blades. (iii) Tangential force on the blades. (iv) Power
developed. (v) Blade efficiency. Take blade velocity co-efficient as 0.8
6.A single stage steam turbine is supplied with steam at 5 bar, 200°C at the
rate of 50 kg/min. It expands into a condenser at a pressure of 0.2 bar. The
blade speed is 400 m/s. The nozzles are inclined at an angle of 20° to the plane
of the wheel and the outlet blade angle is 30°. Neglecting friction losses,
determine (i) the power developed, (ii) blade efficiency, (iii) stage efficiency.
7.The following data refer to a single stage impulse turbine:Isentropic nozzle
heat drop 251 kJ/kg; nozzle efficiency = 90%; nozzle angle = 20°; ratio of blade
speed to whirl component of steam speed = 0.5; blade velocity co-efficient =
0.9; the velocity of steam entering the nozzle = 20 m/s. Determine: (i) The
blade angles at inlet and outlet if the steam enters into the blades without
shock and leaves the blades in an axial direction.(ii) Blade efficiency.(iii) Power
developed and axial thrust if the steam flow is 8 kg
8.Define and prove the ‘Degree of reaction’ used in reaction turbine
9.In reaction turbine, the fixed blades and moving blades are of the same
shape but reversed direction. The angles of the receiving tips are 35° and of
discharging tips 20°. Find the power developed per pair of blades for steam
consumption of 2.5 kg/s, when the blade speed is 50 m/s. If the heat drop per
pair is 10.04 kJ/kg, find the efficiency of the pair.
10.The following data relate to a single stage impulse turbine: Steam velocity =
600 m/s; Blade speed = 250 m/s, Nozzle angle = 20°. Blade outlet angle = 25°;
Neglecting the effect of friction, calculate the work developed by the turbine for
the steam flow rate of 20 kg/s. Also calculate the axial thrust on the bearings.
