Q2: A reaction turbine has guide vanes at an angle of 30° and the runner blades make an
angle of 80° relative to the tangent at inlet. The blades width at the inlet is % of the outer
diameter. The water does not have any tangential velocity at the outlet. The head is 25 m
and the rotational speed of the runner is 16.67 rotations per second. The turbine efficiency
is 88 %. Determine the turbine runner diameter at the inlet and the power developed.
Pls. Answer this thank you!Steam enters a turbine stage with an enthalpy of 3628 kj/kg at 70 m/s and leaves the same stage with an enthalpy of 2846 kj/kg and a velocity of 124 m/s. Calculate the power in KW if there are 5 kg/s steam admitted at the turbine throttle.
c) A pump increases the pressure from 10 kPa to 70 kPa. Determine the power input required,
to pump 2 m/s of water, given the inlet temperature of 15 °C. Does the inlet temperature
