Q. In an impulse turbine steam expands

A
Completely in the nozzle
B
Completely in the blades
C
Partially in the nozzle and partially in the blade
D
None of the above
Solution:
  • An impulse turbine is a turbine that is driven by high velocity (K.E) jets of water or steam from a nozzle directed on to vanes or buckets attached to a wheel.
  • The impulse turbine is the simplest type of turbine.
  • It consists of a group of nozzles followed by a row of blades.
  • The gas is expanded in the nozzle, converting the high thermal energy into kinetic energy.
