Physics · Thermal Engineering
The efficiency of a single-stage impulse turbine is maximum when (where V b = blade speed, V = absolute velocity of steam entering the blade, and α = nozzle angle):
- 1V b = V 2 cos α
- 2V b = 0.5 V 2 cos α
- 3V b = V cos α
- 4V b = 0.5 V cos α✓
Correct answer
V b = 0.5 V cos α
