1. The blade speed of an axial flow turbine using air is 250 ft./s.

The tangential
components of absolute velocities at the inlet and outlet are 900 ft./s (in the direction
of rotation) and 300 ft./s (opposite to the direction of rotation). Calculate (a) power
output if mass flow rate is 20 lbm/s, (b) change in total enthalpy, and (c) change in
total temperature across the rotor.

2. For a certain stage of an axial flow turbine, the nozzle makes an angle of 28 ° with
the wheel tangent. The axial velocity component at the inlet is 500 ft./s. (a) If the
degree of reaction is 50% and the blade speed is 550 ft./s, find the blade angles. (b)
If nozzle angle, blade speed, and axial velocity remain unchanged, what should the
value of degree of reaction be for maximum utilization?

3. The following data refer to the impulse stage of an axial flow turbine:
Nozzle angle = 20°
Mean blade speed = 700 ft./s
Axial velocity = 350 ft./s and is constant through the stage
Calculate (a) energy transfer E, (b) change in total (stagnation) enthalpy, (c) change in
static enthalpy, (d) utilization factor, (e) blade angles β1 and β2 Is this the maximum
utilization?

4. Solve the Problem 11 for a 50% reaction turbine.

5. For an axial stage of a turbomachine, the nozzle at the entry makes an angle of 30°
while the axial component of the absolute velocity is 75 m/s. Given that the blade
speed is 75 m/s and the degree of reaction is 0.5, find the blade angles at the inlet
and outlet. For the same nozzle angle, blade speed, and axial velocity, if exit absolute
velocity is equal to inlet axial velocity, what would the degree of reaction be?
