The efficiency of reaction turbine is maximum when (where α = Angle made by the absolute velocity (V) at inlet)
Vb = 0.5 V cos α
Vb = V cos α
Vb = 0.5 V2 cos α
Vb = V2 cos α

The answer is correct for rxn it is U/V=cos alpha for impulse it is cos(alpa)/2.

Biplab said:   9 years ago
For reaction turbine, max efficiency condition is cos alpha and in case of impulse turbine (cos alpha)/2.

Vijay said:   9 years ago
Maximum efficiency is option B because (Vb/v)= cos.

N Suresh said:   9 years ago
When the efficiency of reaction turbine is maximum where blade velocity should be half. So that Vb = 0.5 V cos a.

Pal said:   9 years ago
The answer should be the option (a).

Yashfa said:   9 years ago
How is this possible?

Velocity ratio for impulse turbine = 0.5 cosθ.

Velocity ratio for reaction turbine = cosθ.
