9. The nozzles of the impulse stage of a turbine receive steam at 15 bar and 300 °C and discharge it at 10 bar. The nozzle efficiency is 95% and the nozzle angle is 20°. The blade speed is that required for maximum work. The blade exit angle is 5° less than the inlet angle. The blade friction factor is 0.9. Calculate for a steam flow of 9000 kg/h, (a) the axial thrust, (b) the diagram power, and (c) the blade efficiency.
Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements
Measurement is a term that refers to analyzing a manufactured component regarding the degree of accuracy for dimensions, tolerances, geometric profile, roundness, flatness, smoothness, etc. Measurement always involves comparing the manufactured component or the prototype with a standard specimen whose dimensions and other parameters are assumed to be perfect and do not undergo changes with respect to time.Precisely in mechanical engineering the branch that deals with the application of scientific principles for measurements is known as metrology. The domain of metrology in general deals with various measurements like mechanical, chemical, thermodynamic, physical, and biological measurements. In mechanical engineering, the measurements are limited to mechanical specific such as length, mass, surface profile, flatness, roundness, viscosity, heat transfer, etc.
Basic principles of engineering metrology
Metrology is described as the science of measurement, precision, and accuracy. In other words, it is a method of measurement based on units and predefined standards.
