TURBOMACHINERY (MEC 407)
M.Marks: 30 Time Allowed: 45 min
SET-A
1. Draw the inlet and outlet velocity triangle of simle tur!ine" Also# state the significance of
each velocity comonent" [5]
2. $n a De %aval tur!ine steam issues from the no&&le with a velocity of '(00 m)s. The no&&le
angle is (0
0
# the mean !lade velocity is 400 m)s# and the inlet and outlet angles of !lades are
e*ual. The mass of steam flowing through the tur!ine er hour is '000 kg. +alculate:,
-a. /lade angles
-!. 0elative velocity of steam entering the !lades
-c. Tangential force on !lades
-d. A1ial Thrust
-e. 2ower develoed
-f. /lade efficiency.
Take !lade velocity coefficient as 0.3 [10]
. Derive an e1ression for the ma1imum efficiency and ma1imum work outut in case of
$mulse tur!ines" [15]
SET-B
1. Differentiate !etween imulse and reaction tur!ines" [5]
2. $n a single,stage tur!ine the no&&le discharges the hot gases on to a !lades at a velocity of 450
m)s. The mass flow rate of the gas is '00 kg)s. The tur!ine rotates at (0000 rm. The mean
diameter of wheel is 3'.5 cm. The no&&les are inclined at an angle of (0
0
to the lane of wheel of
rotation. +alculate:,
-a. 2ower develoed !y !lades in M5#
-!. /lade efficiency of the tur!ine#
Assume the !lade friction coefficient as 0.6( and outlet !lade angle as (5
0
to the lane of
rotation. [10]
. 5hat do you mean !y comounding of steam tur!ine" 5hy it is done in imulse tur!ine"
5hat are various tyes of comounding e1lain with velocity and ressure rofile" [15]
