Q
- How is an impulse velocity-compunded turbine applied in reducing the very high speed of rotation?
A. The increased rows of fixed blades serve to redirect the steam to the next moving blades where the velocity of steam is reduced.
B. All pressure drop occurs in the nozzles where the pressure in the turbine remains high.
C. since the rows of blades are connected to the same shaft, there will be loss of output as speed of rotation.
D. There are added number of nozzles and only part of the pressure drop occurs in each stage, hence steam velocities will not ne so high.
A
A. The increased rows of fixed blades serve to redirect the steam to the next moving blades where the velocity of steam is reduced.
