What turbine does not require draft tube?

Draft tube is used to increase the pressure from the low turbine exit pressure to the pressure of the surrounding to which the fluid is rejected.Only reaction turbines require a draft tube as there is low pressure at the exit of the turbine,where as in an impulse turbine the pressure at the inlet and the exit is essentially the same, which is above the pressure to which the fluid is rejected and thus it require no draft tube.


What is a steam turbine?

It is an engine.A steam turbine is a heat engine that uses the expansion of steam passing through stationary nozzles and blades on a shaft to turn the shaft. The steam can move through the turbine axially (one end of shaft to the other end), radially (shaft to outer casing), or tangentially (around the outer edges of the turbine wheel). In an impulse turbine, the steam is expanded in nozzles and pushes the blades. In a reaction turbine the steam is expanded in the nozzles AND in the blades, the reaction of the expansion of the steam pushes away from the blades spinning the wheel in the process. The expansion of the steam is necessary to increase its velocity through the turbine.


What is the use of a turbine in refrigeration?

It is used as a compressor. It has the same advantages over a piston compressor as a gas turbine engine has over a piston engine. i.e. no valves, much lower part count and much greater efficiency.

Define two stage impulse turbine?

A two stage impulse contains 2 stages. One stage is a stator and rotor, therefore a 2 stage impulse turbine contains a stator-rotor-stator-rotor.


Why pelton turbine is called as impulse turbine?

Water is blasted at the buckets one by one or more jets mounted in the surroundings casing. Momentum is transferred from water to buckets and a torque is created, causing the wheel to rotate. That's why it is an impulse turbine.


What is a stage of an impulse turbine?

In an impulse turbine, the stage is a set of moving blades behind the nozzle. In a reaction turbine, each row of blades is called a "stage." A single Curtis stage may consist of two or more rows of moving blades.


What is governing of impulse turbine?

Basically governing of a turbine is controlling the speed of the turbine as the load keeps varying. The turbine needs to rotate at a constant speed. The governing of an impulse turbine is done by varying the jet of water that hits the buckets of the runner. This is done by using a spear arrangement in the pen stock. A pen stock is a type of pipe that provides the jet of water.

What are the differences between an impulse turbine and a reaction turbine?

The difference between impulse and reaction turbine goes here...... 1) In case of an impulse turbine the pressure remains same in the rotor or runners, but in case of reaction turbine the pressure decreases in runners as well as stators also. 2) In case of impulse turbine the pressure drop happens only in the nozzle part by means of its kinetic energy. In case of Reaction one the stators those are fixed to the diaphragm act as a nozzle.


What is steam velocity in turbine?

That is how fast the steam is actually moving in the turbine. For impulse turbines it is twice as fast as the turbine blades. In reaction turbines it is the same speed as the blades. Because the blades of a turbine cannot move faster than 4500 feet per second without self destructing as it overcomes the centripetal force of the turbine wheels, the steam turbine is designed such that no turbine will exceed more than ~1150 feet per second on its tip speed. Thus the steam velocity through the turbine will be less than ~1150 fps for a reaction turbine and less than ~2300 fps for an impulse turbine, or about ~1570 mph, more than twice the speed of sound.
