happens?

governor

2.The steam is supplied at

0
15bar,350 C and exits at
1bar.If
the
divergent
portion of the nozzle is
80mm long and the throat
diameter
is
6mm,determine the cone
angle of the divergent
portion.Assume 12% of
total enthalpy drop is lost
in the friction in the
divergent portion.
3. Derive the expression for
critical pressure ratio. What
is the significance of critical
pressure ratio? The nozzles
of a steam turbine are
supplied with dry saturated
steam at a pressure of
9bar.The pressure at exit is
1bar.The turbine has 3nozzles
with
a
throat
diameter 5mm.The nozzle
efficiency is 90%and turbine
efficiency is 45%.Find the
mass of steam used/hour
and power developed.
