The Effect of Inlet Temperature and Pressure on the Efficiency of Single-Stage Impulse Turbine Having a 13.2-Inch Pitch-Line Diameter Wheel

Description: From Summary: "Efficiency tests have been conducted on a single-stage impulse turbine having a 13.2-inch pitch-line diameter wheel and a cast nozzle diaphragm over a range of turbine speeds from 3000 to 17,000 rpm, pressure ratios from 1.5 to 5.0, inlet total temperatures from 1200 deg to 2000 deg R, and inlet total pressures from 18 to 59 inches of mercury absolute. The effect of inlet temperature and pressure on turbine efficiency for constant pressure ration and blade-to-jet speed ration is … more

The Performance of a Single-Stage Impulse Turbine Having an 11.0-Inch Pitch-Line Diameter Wheel with Cast Airfoil-Shaped and Bent Sheet-Metal Nozzle Blades

Description: Report presenting efficiency tests on a single-stage gas turbine with an 11.0-inch pitch-line diameter wheel and a nozzle diaphragm with cast airfoil-shaped nozzle blades using atmospheric air as the driving fluid. A comparison is made with the same turbine but with different nozzle blades. Results regarding the efficiency curves and further information about velocity effects are provided.
