Expansion occurs in the nozzle from pressure p; to pp. Initially, when back pressure ps is equal to p; there shall be no flow through the nozzle but as backpressure Pp {s reduced the mass flow through nozzle increases. + With the reduction in sure, a situation comes when pressure ratio equals to a critical pressure ratio a attains critical pressure value) then mass flow through the nozzle is found maximum. + Further reduction in back pressure beyond critical pressure value does not affect the mass flow i.e. mass flow rate does not increase beyond its’ limiting value at critical pressure ratio. + A nozzle operating with maximum mass flow rate condition is called choked flow nozzle. + At the critical pressure ratio, the velocity at exit is equal to the velocity of sound. + If the back pressure is reduced below critical pressure then too the mass flow remains at maximum value and exit pressure remains as critical pressure and the fluid leaving nozzle at critical pressure expands violently down to the reduced back pressure value ro Dally Live Re =) Me bat Eee esa Oa J Te MCQ Question 4 View this Question Online The of reaction for an impulse steam turbine is: 1.05 Answer (Detailed Solution Below) Option 3:0 ‘Steam Turbine MCQ Question 4 Detailed Solution Concept: Degree of reaction is the ratio of enthalpy drop in'the rotor to the enthalpy drop in a stage. lL R= Static enthalpy crop ¢ in rotor 7 6, R= pitti essere drop om vise in rotor 1, = stagnation pressure drop Inthe case of impulse turbine, there is no change in the enthalpy in the rotor, so the degree of reaction is zero.

The blades change the direction of the steam flow without changing its pressure. Nozzle a 7 38 es Boiler Exit pressure velocity Inlet Condensor velocity pressure Impulse turbine Impulse-Reaction Turbine: Inan impulse reaction turbine, steam expands both in fixed and moving blades continuously as the steam passes over them. The pressure drop occurs continuously over both moving and fixed blades. In impulse turbine, the fluid is expanded completely inthe nozzle | in reaction turbine, the fluid is partially (pressure drops and the velocity expanded in the fixed blades and the increases) and pressure remains remaining expansion takes place in constant during its passage though the moving blades. In impulse turbine, when the steam glides over the moving blades, the relative velocity of steam either remains constant or reduces slightly due to friction. Impulse turbine has the same pressure on the two sides of the moving blades. FROMING BIstes. In reaction turbine, the steam is continuously expanding, relative velocity increases in the fixed blade. Different pressure exists on the two ‘sides of the moving blades of a reaction turbine. Number of stages required for pressure drop is small for the same power.
