The component v1 cos-alpha is equal to absolute velocity along the component that is 537.

What is the value of alpha here?

JITESH said:   7 years ago
Tangential component is given so for absolute it is cos component.

What is the value of cos α?

Work done = [454(2 * 537 - 454)]/1000 = 282.

For 50% reaction turbine;

Workdone = Vb (2V1cos α-vb)/(1000).

Substitute it 454/1000(2 * 537 - 454) = 282.

I think this can be obtained from velocity triangle method.

50% reaction turbine there is one formula,

Work done = Vb (2V1cos alpha-vb)/(1000).

Substitute and we can get it 454/1000(2*537-434) = 282.
