In a single row impulse turbine, the absolute velocity of steam leaving the turbine is 900 m/s. The nozzle angel is 20°. The mean blade speed is 300 m/s. The inlet blade angle is equal to the outlet blade angle. Determine the angle made by the discharging steam with the tangent of the wheel at the exit of moving blade. Neglect friction on turbine blades.
In a single row impulse turbine, steam leaves the nozzle at 600 m/s. The nozzle angle and the mean blade speed is 25° and 200 m/s. The blade velocity coefficient is 0.8. Determine the blade outlet angle if the steam leaves the turbine blades axially.
A simple impulse turbine has a mean blade speed of 250 m/s. The nozzle angle is 20° and the steam velocity from the nozzle is 600 m/s. The turbine uses 3000 kg/h of steam. The blade outlet angle is 25°. Determine the amount of energy converted to heat by blade friction if the blade friction factor is 0.86.
In a reaction turbine, the fixed blades and moving blades are of the same shape but reversed in direction. The angle of the discharging tip is 20°. The mean blade velocity is 200 m/s. The axial velocity of flow of steam is half of the mean blade velocity. Determine the inlet angles of blades.
In impulse turbines, when friction is neglected, the relative velocity of steam at outlet tip of the blade is _________ the relative velocity of steam at inlet tip of the blade.
If for a certain simple impulse turbine, the blade inlet and outlet angles are 35° and 30° respectively and the relative velocity of steam to moving blade at entrance and exit are 350 m/s and 320 m/s respectively, determine the axial thrust on the bearings. The turbine has a steam flow rate of 20 kg/s.
In a newly developed innovative idea brought up by CSIR in India, gas turbine exhaust gas are being utilized to convert feedwater into steam. Certain data of the experiment are as follows: mass flow rate of exhaust gas = 40 kg/hr, enthalpy of exhaust gas at the time of their exit from gas turbine is 600 kJ/kg, steam turbine output as measured by brake dynamometer = 60 hp-sec, thermal efficiency of steam power plant is 0.25, efficiency of exhaust gas in converting feedwater into steam is taken as 50%. Find the enthalpy of exhaust gas remaining after they generate steam from feedwater?
Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it. The first working steam­ powered vehicle was designed and most likely built by Ferdinand Verbies, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm long scale­ model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built. Nicolas- Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the first full­ scale, self ­propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769; he also created a steam­ powered tricycle. He constructed two steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is preserved in the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. His inventions were however handicapped by problems of water supply and maintaining steam pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam ­powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods. Sentiment against steam ­powered road vehicles led to the Locomotive Acts of 1865. In 1807 Nicephore Niepce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called Pyreolophore. The first full­scale, working steam ­powered tricycle was built by:
