Axial Flow Turbines


1. Consider an impulse gas turbine in which gas enters at pressure = 5.2 bar and leaves at
1.03 bar. The turbine inlet temperature is 1000K and isentropic efficiency of the turbine is
0.88. If mass flow rate of air is 28 kg/s, nozzle angle at outlet is 57 o, and absolute velocity
of gas at inlet is 140 m/s, determine the gas velocity at nozzle outlet, whirl component at
rotor inlet and turbine work output. Take, =1.33, and Cpg =1.147 kJ/kgK

2. In a single-stage gas turbine, gas enters and leaves in axial direction. The nozzle efflux
angle is 68, the stagnation temperature and stagnation pressure at stage inlet are 800C
and 4 bar, respectively. The exhaust static pressure is 1 bar, total-to-static efficiency is
0.85, and mean blade speed is 480 m/s, determine the work done and the axial velocity
which is constant through the stage Assume =1.33, and Cpg = 1.147 kJ/kgK.
