Q8. An impulse turbine has a nozzle at the entrance.

(a) Calculate the nozzle exit velocity if the change in enthalpy across the nozzle is 345 kJ/kg.(2)

(b) Sketch a blade velocity diagram labelling all significant angles and velocities. (3)

(c) The nozzle entrance angle is 16°, the blade velocity is 200 m/s, and the blades are symmetrical and have an angle of 40°. If the blade velocity coefficient is 0.8 and the mass flowrate of the steam is 0.8 kg/s, determine the diagram power. (11)
