A two stage Curtis superheated steam turbine is supplied at a stagnation pressure of 20 MPa and at a temperature of 500c from a boiler. It enters a nozzle and expands isentropically in the nozzle to a pressure of 10.13 MPa as it enters the first stage, where the mean diameter is 0.4 m. The turbine is designed to produce 320 Kw when the mass flow rate is 2 kg/s. Assume that the axial velocity is constant through both stages. Calculate the (a) nozzle angle at the inlet, (b) blade angles for both stages, (c) utilization factor and (d) rotor speed.
