ENRG 511 Turbomachinery, Sec 01, Term 2202 Instructor: Dr. Farooq Saeed
Assignment No. 3 SOLUTION Due Date: 09-03-2021

Problem 4.1 Steam enters a rotor of an axial turbine with an absolute velocity V2 = 320 m/s at an
angle 2 = 73°. The axial velocity remains constant. The blade speed is U = 165 m/s. The rotor
blades are equiangular so that 3 = –2, and the magnitude of the relative velocity remains constant
across the rotor. Draw the velocity triangles. Find (a) the relative flow angle 2, (b) the magnitude of
the velocity V3 after the flow leaves the rotor, and (c) the flow angle 3 that V3 makes with the axial
direction.

Problem 4.2 Water with density 1000 kg/m3 flows in centrifugal pump at the rate of 22 L/s. The
impeller radius is r2 = 7.7 cm, and the blade width at the impeller exit is b2 = 0.8 cm. If the flow
angles at the impeller exit are 2 = 67° and 2 = –40°, what is the rotational speed of the shaft in
rpm.

Problem 4.5 The exit flow angle of stator in an axial steam turbine is 68°. The flow angle of the
relative velocity leaving the rotor is –67°. Steam leaves the stator at V2 = 120 m/s, and the axial
velocity is Vx2 = 0.41U. At the exit of the rotor, blades the axial steam velocity is Vx3 = 0.42U. The
mass flow rate is 𝑚 2.2 kg/s. Find (a) the flow angle entering the stator assuming it to be the same
as the absolute flow angle leaving the rotor, (b) the flow angle of the relative velocity entering the
rotor, (c) the reaction, and (d) the power delivered by the stage.

Problem 4.6 The axial component of air flow leaving a stator in an axial flow turbine is Vx2 = 175
m/s, and its flow angle is 64°. The axial velocity is constant, the reaction of the stage is R = 0.5, and
the blade speed is U = 140 m/s. Since the reaction is 50%, the relationships between the flow angles
are 2 = –3 and 2 = –3. Find the flow angle of the velocity entering the stator.

Problem 4.7 The airflow leaving the rotor of an axial-flow turbine is Vx2 = 140 m/s and its flow
angle is 0°. The axial velocity is constant and equal to the blade speed. The inlet flow angle to the
rotor is 2 = 60°. Find the reaction.
