In a trial run, the De Laval steam turbine at Oman Power Plant rotates at 3000 rpm. The steam is issued from the nozzle at 400 m/s and the nozzle angle is 20o. The blade speed ratio is 0.41and the friction loss in the blade channel is 15%of the kinetic energy corresponding to the relative velocity at the inlet to the blades. As a turbine engineer at that station, how do you determine the (i) power developed by the turbine for a flow rate of 10 kg/s and (ii) suitable inlet and outlet angles for the blades when axial thrust is zero. Also, how would you determine the size of the turbine wheel required? Draw a suitable velocity diagram.

A certain hydropower plant is being supplied by river flow of 900 cubic ft/sec and the head on the site is 200 ft. To develop maximum capacity it was proposed to install 2 turbines, one of which is 1.5 times the capacity of the other. Both turbine units are assumed to have efficiency of 85%. Determine (a) the total power developed, (b) what is the power developed by turbine #1 and by turbine #2 and (c) Rotative speed of each turbine unit assuming specific speed equal to 70 rpm.
Albert bought a portable device to pump his truck tyres. On the manual, he found out that the device is a single stage, single-acting air compressor. Air delivery for this device is 30 bar at a speed of 1500 rev/min. The atmospheric condition of his location is 87 kPa and 20 ˚C, with a FAD of 0.22 m2 /min.
