4) The velocity of steam at inlet to a simple impulse turbine is 1000 m/s, and the nozzle angle is 20o. The blade speed is 400 m/s and the blades are symmetrical. Determine the blade angle if the steam is to enter the blade without shock. If the relative velocity at exit is reduced by friction to 80% of that at inlet, what are then the diagram power and the axial thrust for a mass flow of 0.75 kg/s?

practices. Discuss by
giving examples of engineering judgement whereby such decisions
does not conform
