Question

There is a turbine that has an inlet diameter of 2100 mm, which rotates at 1020 rpm. The angle of the tangential component of the absolute velocity (Vabs) is 36° with respect to the absolute velocity (Vabs). Knowing that Vabs is 85 m/s, determine: a) Relative speed (Vr) b) Tangential speed of the blades (U) c) Radial Speed (VR) d) Draw the velocity triangle

Step 1

Given: Vabs = 85 m/s θ = 36° Using the formula, we can calculate Vr: Vr = 85 * sin(36°) Vr ≈ 85 * 0.5878 Vr ≈ 49.91 m/s Show more…
