A reaction turbine having identical blading delivers dry saturated steam at 3 bar. The velocity of steam is 100 m/sec. The mean blade height is 40 mm and the exit, angle of the moving blade is 200. At the mean radius, the axial flow velocity equals 3/4th of blade speed. For a steam flow rate of 10,000 kg/hr, determine :
- The rotor speed in rev/min,
- The power output of stage
- The diagram efficiency
- The percentage increase in relative velocity in the moving blade due to expansion in these blades and
- The enthalpy drop of steam in the stage
Specific volume of dry saturated stem at 3 bar is 0.6055 m3/kg.
