Impulse and Reaction Type of Turbomachines onsidering P, the turbomachine can be grouped into: A. Turbomachines without pressure difference in front of and beyond the rotor, i.e (P P ) or p Impulse type of Turbomachines B. Turbomachines with pressure difference in front and beyond the rotor, i.e. (P PP ) p > Reaction type of Turbomachines 4
For impulse turbines The total head of the incoming fluid is converted into a large velocity head at the exit of the supply nozzle. Both ththe pressure drop across the bucket t(blade) and the change in relative speed of the fluid across the bucket are negligible. The space surrounding the rotor is not completely filled with fluid. The individual jets of fluid striking the buckets that generates the torque. 5
For reaction turbines There is both a pressure drop and a fluid relative speed change across the rotor. Guide vanes act as nozzle to accelerate the flow and turn it in the appropriate direction as the fluid enters the rotor. Part of the pressure drop occurs across the guide vanes and part occurs across the rotor, 6
Summary Impulse turbines: High head, head, low flowrate devices. Reaction turbines: Low head, high flowrate h devices. 7

The entirely available pressure difference (P P ) is converted into velocity while the flow passes through h the stationary tti guide vanes The velocity existing in the clearance between the stationary guide vanes and the rotor blades is the highest one which can be obtained from the available pressure difference, i.e. ie max attainable The kinetic energy of the flow entering the rotor is reduced d while the flow passes the blade channels, the absolute velocity is reduced from to.

Ifbladehasuniform thickness, the flow whilepassing the channel is first decelerated then accelerated. Such change in the flow velocity is undesirable as it leads to unnecessary losses. In order to obtain const. along the vane channel the blade be designed withstrong profiling; however, such blades are costly 11

hile the flow passes through the channels of stationary vanes (also called Guide Blades), only a portion of the available pressure difference (P D P S )is converted into velocity Thus < max attainable atta ab and, hence, the spec. work blade bade of the reaction turbine is smaller that that of the impulse turbine if the same velocity is assumed The velocity of reaction turbines has to be higher than that of impulse turbines if the same blade is to be obtained. Reaction turbines turbomachines. may be classified as fast running 14
β 1 should be small but not too small as leads to strong whirls in the discharge flow. The angle β of reaction turbines is 9 β and, thus, differs from that of impulse turbines. The blade does not have the hook form. As the relative velocity increases from to, the channel width decreases and no profile is necessary in order to obtain equal channel width. Reaction turbine has more stages because of the lower blade ofitssingle single stage. 15
Degree of Reaction In case of the reaction turbine, the driving force at the rotor is due to change of direction (impulse) and magnitude (reaction) of the relative velocity. A reaction effect, i.e. a change of the magnitude of the relative velocity in case of the axial flow machine, is only possible if a pressure difference exists between the entrance and discharge side of the rotor. Quota of reaction acting is found by comparing total energy, with pressure rotor energy ( p ). 16

Blade Speed Ratio The blade speed ratio as defined below is widely used in the calculation l of turbines especially ill of steam turbines. Blade Speed Ratio is the velocity which could be obtained if the spec. work is converted without losses completely into velocity. ϕ 1 R here Ф is velocity coefficient of guide vanes (referring to velocity losses) After some derivation ηh 1 ϕ cosα 1 R 18

The Vane Angle β Three different axial flow vanes, namely form A, B, for which, m and β 1 are the same but the angle β differ 1
Β is chosen for the form A as β <9, for the form B as β 9 and for the form as β >9. A similar sketch for three different radial flow vanes with β <9 (form a), β 9 (form b) and β 9 (form c) is given below.
In case of the radial flow machine the vanes of the different forms are called Vane form a as backward curved vanes Vanes form b, c as forward curved vanes The following relation exists between β and ase:α 9 blade blade where, cot β, u blade and m ( cot β ) m u and it follows then m m blade tan β tan β ase:α 9 m m blade 1 tan tan β β O
The necessary peripheral p velocity for a given blade can be determined by these equation if the vane angle β is assumed. A large β decreases and the size of the rotor decreases, too, if the speed n is not altered: 4

The rotor shape is a function of n, V and. Shape number (N shape ) is a dimensionless number and is used to define the shape of the rotor by relating n, V and.
