In steam turbine terminology, diaphragm refers to
Statement (I) : When a bluff body moves at supersonic speed in still air, an attached shock wave is produced at its nose causing the flow to be subsonic behind the shock plane. Statement (II) : A normal shock always transforms supersonic flow into subsonic flow causing increase in pressure, temperature and entropy.
The mass flow through a convergent – divergent nozzle is maximum when the pressure at:
When a converging-diverging nozzle is operated at off-design conditions, a normal shock forms in the diverging portion. The nozzle can be assumed to be perfectly insulate from the surroundings. Then across the shock
When the pressure drop across a converging-diverging nozzle is different from the design value for isentropic flow, which of the following is possible?
A convergent-divergent nozzle is said to be choked when:
In a convergent divergent nozzle, the velocity at throat of nozzle is given by Where p­1 = initial entry pressure, v1 = initial entry specific volume and n = isentropic index of expansion.
Which component of a gas turbine consumes maximum power?
