Tutorial-3

Q1. Steam at a pressure of 10 bar and dryness fraction of 0.98 is discharged through a
convergent divergent nozzle to a back pressure of 0.1 bar. The mas flow rate is 10 kg/kW -
hr. If the power developed is 200 kW, determine:
(a) Pressure at the throat Ans: 5.778 bar
(b) Number of nozzles required if each nozzle has a throat of rectangular cross section of
5 mm X 10 mm. Ans: 8
(c) The dimensions of cross-section at the exit of nozzle, if 10% of the overall isentropic
enthalpy drop reheats the steam by friction in the divergent portion.
Ans: 19.33 mm X 38.66 mm

Q2. Steam at a pressure of 7 bar and 275 ºC is supplied to the nozzle and the steam discharges
at a pressure of 1 bar. If the diverging portion of the nozzle is 50 mm long and the throat
diameter is 5 mm, determine the cone angle of the diverging portion. Assume 10% of the
total enthalpy drop to be lost in friction in the diverging part. Ans: 2.24º

Ans: (a) β1= β2 = 30º, (b) 840 m/s, (c) 330 N, (d) 132 kW, (e) 73.3%

Q2. In a stage of an impulse turbine provided with a single row wheel, the mean diameter of the
blade ring is 80 cm and the speed of rotation is 3000 rpm. The steam issues from the nozzles
with a velocity of 300 m/s and the nozzle angle is 20º. The rotor blades are equiangular and

times the relative velocity of the steam entering the blades. What is the power developed in the
blades when the axial thrust on the blades is 140 N.
