📘 Calculation Methodology & Turbine Velocity Triangles

Euler Turbine Equation & Swirl

Specific work extracted by the rotor is determined directly by the change in angular momentum of the fluid: $\Delta h_0 = U (V_{\theta 2} - V_{\theta 3})$.

Degree of Reaction & Smith Chart

Degree of reaction $R$ measures the proportion of static enthalpy drop occurring across the rotor vs stator. $R = 0$ corresponds to pure impulse stages, while $R = 0.5$ represents symmetrical 50% Parsons reaction stages.

Key Engineering Assumptions

  • 1D mean-line aerodynamic formulation.
  • Soderberg profile and secondary loss model.
  • Widely used in gas turbine design, aircraft jet engines, and steam turbomachinery.
