Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 8

Question
In a reaction turbine the steam pressure drops in both the stationary and rotating blades
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
In a reaction turbine the steam expands in the moving blades producing a reaction force
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Question
In a reaction turbine the velocity of the steam decreases in the stationary and moving blades
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 11

Question
In a reaction turbine blade clearance between the rotor and the casing must be kept at a maximum to prevent rubbing.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 12

Question
Nozzles are used on steam turbines to
Answer
  • reduce the steam velocity to the blading
  • increase the enthalpy of the incoming steam
  • prevent moisture from entering the low pressure stages of the turbine
  • convert heat energy into kinetic energy
  • convert pressure energy into potential energy

Question 13

Question
The throttling effect of steam through a turbine nozzle
Answer
  • increased superheat, reduces pressure and increases the steam volume
  • reduced superheat, increases pressure and increase the steam volume
  • no change in superheat, reduces pressure and increases the steam volume
  • increased superheat, increased pressure, increased volume
  • heat loss, enthalpy gain and increase in velocity
