• Consider an axial turbine stage with constant axial velocity, repetition conditions and axial outflow. The following geometry data are
given: Value Unit Position 1 Position 2 Position 3

Radius Tip m 0.25 0.26 0.28
The turbine is rotating at a speed of 17000rpm. At this operating point the following parameters have been measured:
Stage inlet velocity 120m/s
Stage inlet total pressure 2000kPa
Stage inlet total temperature 1100K
Stage outlet static pressure 750kPa
Determine the following:
Reference radius and corresponding blade speed u
Mass flow rate
Static outlet temperature
Total-to-total efficiency

• A single-stage axial flow turbine has a mean radius of 30 cm and a blade height at the stator inlet of 6
cm. The hot gases enter the turbine stage at 1900 kPa and 1200 K and the absolute velocity leaving
the stator (C2) is 600 m/s and inclined at an angle 65◦ to the axial direction. The relative angles at the
inlet and outlet of the rotor blade are 25◦ and 60◦, respectively. The stage efficiency is 0.88. Calculate
1. The absolute angle α3
2. The rotor rotational speed in rpm
3. The stage pressure ratio
4. Flow coefficient, blade-loading coefficient, and degree of reaction
5. The mass flow rate
6. The power delivered by the turbine (Take γ = 1.33, R = 290 J/kg · K), and Ca/U is constant through the
stage.
