Question

When steam flows over moving blades of an impulse turbine

A.

Both pressure and velocity decreases

B.

Pressure drops and velocity increases.

C.

Pressure remains constant and velocity decreases.

D.

Both pressure and velocity remains constant.

Answer ( Option C)

Pressure remains constant and velocity decreases.

Solution

A reaction turbine is one in which there is pressure and velocity loss in the moving blades. The moving blades have a converging steam nozzle. Hence when the steam passes over the fixed blades, it expands with decrease in steam pressure and increase in kinetic energy.When steam flows over moving blades of an impulse turbine, pressure remains constant and velocity decreases.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
