2M EC-I ASSIGNMENT 01

Derive the expression for mass of steam discharged through nozzle?

1
Steam enter a group of nozzle of steam turbine at 12 bar and 220 0C and
2
leaves at 1.2 bar. The steam turbine develops 220 kW with a specific steam
consumption of 13.5 kg/kWh. If the diameter of nozzle at throat is 7mm
Calculate the number of nozzle.

3 What is compounding of steam turbine? Explain Velocity compounding

showing pressure and velocity variations along the axis of the turbine
Steam at a pressure of 10 bar 0.9 dry discharges through a nozzle having
4
throat area of 450 mm2 if the back pressure(exit pressure) is 1 bar find

1) Final velocity of steam

2) Cross sectional area of the nozzle at exit

Explain Pressure Velocity compounding showing pressure and velocity
5
variations along the axis of the turbine.

6 Dry saturated steam at a pressure of 11 bar enter a convergent divergent

nozzle and leaves at a pressure of 2 bar. If the flow is adiabatic and
frictionless determine
i) The exit velocity of steam
ii) Ratio of cross section area at exit and that of throat
assume n = 1.135
Differentiate between Impulse and reaction turbine?
7
Draw T-S & P-H diagram of Rankine cycle with Reheating Process in
8
steam turbine?
Dry saturated steam is expanded in a nozzle from 15 bar at 300 0C to 1 bar.
9
If the frictional loss in the nozzle is 12% of the total enthalpy drop calculate
the mass of steam discharged when exit diameter of the nozzle is 15mm.
Briefly discuss various losses occurring in steam turbines

Explain by pass method of governing?
11
Define the terms degree of reaction in steam turbine?
