13. A velocity compounded impulse turbine has two rows of moving blades with a fixed row of guide blades. The
steam leaves the nozzle at 900m/s in a direction at 18 0 to the plane of rotation. The blade speed is 150m/s &
blade outlet angles are 240, 260, &300 for the first moving, first fixed & second moving respectively. The friction
factor is 0.9 for all rows. The steam supply is 4500 kg/hr.
14. Following is the data pertaining to a single row impulse turbines:
Mean diameter of blade4 ring=2m; speed 3000 rpm; nozzle angle=18 0;ratio of blade velocity to steam
velocity=0.5; blade friction factor =0.9; blade angle at exit =30 more than at inlet; steam supply=30,000kg/h.
Draw velocity diagram for the moving blade & estimate
i) power developed
ii) diagram efficiency &
iii) steam consumption kg/kwh.
16) Show that blade efficiency of single stage impulse turbine
ηb=2(1+KB)(ρcosα1-ρ2) & further prove that ηb(max)=cos2α1.
17) In a De-Laval turbine steam issues from the nozzle with a velocity of 1200m/sec. the nozzle angle is 20 0, the
mean blade velocity is 400m/sec & the inlet & outlet angles of blades are equal. The mass of steam flowing
through the turbine per hour is 1000kg.
Calculate
i) Blade angles
ii) Relative velocity of steam entering the blades
iii) Tangential force on the blades &
iv) Power developed.
18) State the advantages & disadvantages of reheating if steam.
19) Explain “bleeding of steam turbines”.
