The ratio of relative velocity of steam to the moving blade at exit to the relative velocity of steam to the moving at entrance is called _____ Correct Answer blade velocity co-efficient

Blade velocity co-efficient (K) is the ratio of relative velocity of steam to the moving blade at the exit to relative velocity of moving blade at the entrance. As the steam passes over the blades of the turbine the velocity is reduced due to the friction present on the surface of the blades.
