Solve by hand please The mean rotor diameter of a De Laval turbine is 0.5 m. Its speed is 3000 rpm. Steam is supplied fromnozzles at a velocity of 200 m/s at a nozzle angle of 22°. The relative velocity of steam reduces by 5% inthe blades due to friction. Taking the blade angles at the inlet and outlet to be equal, find the angles, thepower output, and the axial thrust for a flow rate of 10 kg/s. If the axial thrust has to be reduced to zero,what modifications of the blades are required?
