Problem (5.2) An impulse turbine has a number of pressure stages (pressure compounded turbine). The nozzle angle in the first stage is 20° and the blade exit angle 30°. The blade speed =120 m/s and the velocity of steam leaving nozzle =300 m/s. If the blade velocity coefficient =0.8 and the nozzle efficiency 0.85, find the work done per kg steam and the stage efficiency. If the steam supplied to the first stage is at 2 MPa and 250°C and the condenser pressure =0.01 MPa estimate the number of stages required.

Question
Problem (5.2) An impulse turbine has a number of pressure stages
(pressure compounded turbine). The nozzle angle in the first stage is 20°
and the blade exit angle =30°. The blade speed =120 m/s and the velocity
of steam leaving nozzle =300 m/s. If the blade velocity coefficient =0.8
and the nozzle efficiency =0.85, find the work done per kg steam and the
stage efficiency. If the steam supplied to the first stage is at 2 MPa and
250°C and the condenser pressure =0.01 MPa estimate the number of
stages required.
Ans. [36 kJ/kg, 68 %, x 4 ]
