5. The velocity of steam leaving the nozzles of an impulse turbine is 1200m/s and the nozzle
angle is 20o. The blade velocity is 375 m/s and the blade velocity coefficient is 0.75. assuming no
loss due to shock at inlet, calculate for a mass flow of 0.5 kg/s and symmetrical blading:
(i) blade angle
(ii) driving force on the wheel
(iii) axial thrust on the wheel
(iv) power developed by the turbine.

6. In a reaction turbine, the blade tips are inclined at 35o and 20o in direction of motion. The
guide blades are of the same shape as the moving blades but reversed in direction. At a certain
place in the turbine, the drum diameter is 1 m and the blades are 100 mm high. At this place,
steam has a pressure of 1.7 bar and dryness 0.935. If the speed of the turbine is 250 r.p.m. and
the steam passes through the blades without shock, find the mass of steam flow and the power
developed in the ring of the moving blades.( Given: vg = 1.031 m3/kg.)
