/n this case the jet angle must be e0ual to the blade angle at the inlet. This will ensure that the steam jet

T"e Performance of Simple Impulse Turines!
The simple impulse turbine is called 78elaval turbine7. /t consist of a series of nozzles followed by a
series of blades. The shape of the blade is designed so that the steam as it moves flows inside its channel
will not expand * const P = ).
T"e #o$$le %nal&sis!
The objective of the nozzle is to convert the thermal energy of steam *high pressure and temperature)
into linear .inetic energy. The nozzle used in steam turbine is the convergent3 divergent nozzle. This
nozzle is capable of producing high velocity. This velocity is much higher than the velocity of sound.
The steam nozzle efficiency is defined as the ratio of the useful output .inetic energy to the isentropic
enthalpy drop across the nozzle(

+ariation of pressure and ,elocit& across t"e stage
/n impulse turbines, all pressure drops of steam occur in the nozzles and there is no pressure drop as
steam flows through the passage between two blades. ,o, steam enters the nozzles at high pressure and
low velocity and undergoes expansion to lower pressure with velocity increased. The high velocity jets of
steam flows smoothly upon the blades get deflected by an angle, and come out at a lower absolute
velocity impressing a tor0ue on the blades. The pressure of steam remains essentially constant as steam
flows through the blades.

/t consists of a set of nozzles followed by two or more sets of moving blades attached to one wheel or
dis.. There is also a set of re3directional fixed blades in between the rotating blades to direct the steam

Impulse-1eaction Turine Stages 0Parson Turine2!
/t consists of a set of fixed blades *nozzles) and a set of moving blades each of which is shaped li.e
nozzles. Therefore, there are two pressure drops per stage in a reaction turbine. >ressure drop occurs both
in the nozzles or the fixed row of blades, as well as in the moving row of blades.
+hile the steam flows through the blades,
there is an increase in the relative velocity
compared to the inlet. This gives rise to
outlet momentum rate which ma.es the
axial thrust in the opposite direction as in
the impulse turbine). 4lades rotate due to
both the impulse effect of the jets *due to
change in the direction of relative
velocity) and the reaction effect *due to
change the value of the relative
velocity).blades in the opposite direction.
,uch turbines are called impulse3reaction
turbines, or to distinguish them from
impulse turbines, simply reaction turbines.
The degree of reaction *9) of these
turbines is defined as the ratio of the
enthalpy drop in the moving blade to the
total enthalpy drop across the stage(
