An axial flow Impulse gas turbine stage receives a mass flow rate of 75 lbm/s at a velocity V1. It has a hub and tip radii of 8.4 in and 14.4 in respectively. The gas leaves the stator with an angle of α1=60º with the tangential direction. The blade angle at the outlet is βb2=35.61º. Take ρgas=0.085 lbm/ft3.    Determine the absolute velocity at the inlet in ft/s.   Determine the blade angle at the inlet βb1
