to the plane of rotation with a steam velocity of 600 m/s entering the blades from the nozzles.

an absolute velocity along the turbine axis. Assuming the blade inlet and outlet angles are equal,

a) The inlet and exit angles of the blades,
b) Power developed by the turbine,

m/s to impinge on the blades. The mean blade velocity is 255 m/s, and the outlet blade angle is

and exit angles of the moving blades are equal, the blade friction factor is 0.8, and the
mean diameter of the blades is 0.5 m. The steam leaves the nozzle with a velocity of 750
m/s. Determine:

7. A turbine with a single stage receives steam at 6 bar and 300oC at a rate of 60 kg/min. It is then
expanded to a pressure of 0.2 bar. The blade speed is 400 m/s, and the nozzles are inclined at an
angle of 20o to the plane of the wheel. The blade outlet angle is 30o, neglecting frictional losses
