1. A single stage axial turbine of free vortex design is characterized by the following data:
T01 = 1250 K; p01 = 3.8 bar; pressure ratio, p01 /p03 = 2; λN = 0.05; isentropic efficiency,
ηt = 0.88; ca = ca2 = ca3 = 275 m/s; mean radius, rm = 0.21 m; blade speed at mean radius,
Um = 340 m/s; degree of reaction at mean radius, Λm = 0.35; mass flow, m = 20 kg/s.
Compute the height of the annulus at sections 2 (rotor inlet) and 3 (rotor exit).
Verify if the nozzle is chocked (at mid span).
Verify positive reaction and compute the relative flow angles at root.
Verify the maximum relative Mach number at rotor inlet.
This turbine is matched to a compressor having the following characteristic at constant
speed:

p02 /p0a m T0a /p0a ηc

4.2 329 0.83


3.8 339 0.79
3.4 343 0.75

Assume: ambient conditions p0a = 1 bar, T0a = 288 K; mechanical efficiency of the
compressor and turbine equal to 0.98. Compute the power output.
