The first stage of a turbine is a two-row velocity compounded wheel. Steam at 40 bar and 400 C is expanded in the nozzles to 15 bar, and has a velocity at discharge of 700 m/s. The inlet velocity to the stage is negligible. The relevant exit angles are: nozzle 18; first row blades 21; fixcd blades 26.5"; second row blades 35°. Take the blade velocity coefficient for all blades as 0.9. The mean diameter of the blading is 750 mm and the turbine shaft speed is 3000 rev/min. Draw the velocity diagram for this wheel and calculate: (i) the diagram efficiency; (@) the stage efficiency. (70 8%: 674%)

11.5 The first stage of a turbine is a two-row velocity compounded wheel. Steam at 40 bar
and 400 C is expanded in the nozzles to 15 bar, and has a velocity at discharge of
700 m/s. The inlet velocity to the stage is negligible. The relevant exit angles are: nozzle
18; first row blades 21"; fixed blades 26.5"; second row blades 35°. Take the blade
velocity coefficient for all blades as 0.9. The mean diameter of the blading is 750 mm
and the turbine shaft speed is 3000 rev/min. Draw the velocity diagram for this wheel
and calculate:
(i) the diagram efficiency;
(@) the stage efficiency.
