Reaction Turbines

Reaction turbines use both impulse and reaction forces to convert the steam's energy into rotational energy. They have both stationary and rotating blades that work together, with the steam's pressure and velocity changing as it passes through each set of blades. The degree of reaction indicates what portion of the total enthalpy drop occurs in the stationary blades versus the rotating blades. Maximum blade efficiency occurs when the steam's exit velocity matches the blade's velocity. Larger blade heights allow reaction turbines to operate at lower speeds.

Degree of Reaction:
The ratio of enthalpy drop in fixed blades to enthalpy drop in total stage
Blade/ Efficiency of a Reaction Turbine:
Condition for Maximum Blade Efficiency:
Blade Height:
D.O.R of Parson’s Turbine is 50%
Problem: A parson reaction turbine running at 400 rpm with 50%
reaction develops 75kW of the steam. The exit angle of the blade is
200 and the steam velocity is 1.4 times the blade velocity.
Determine
a) Blade Velocity
b) Blade Inlet Angle
Problem 2: A reaction turbine runs at 3000 rpm and the steam
consumption is 20000 kg/hr. The pressure of steam at a certain pair is 2 bar,
its dryness fraction is 0.93 and the power developed by the pair is 50 kW.
The discharge blade angle is 200 for both the fixed and moving blades and
the axial velocity of flow is 0.72 times the blade velocity. Find the drum
diameter and the blade height. Take the tip leakage steam as 8%. Neglect
blade thickness.
