A power plant uses both velocity and pressure compounding turbines. If the combined method offers a 20% efficiency improvement, what is the primary advantage gained by using combined compounding compared to traditional turbines?
💡 Hint: Think about the benefits of design freedom in turbine operations.
Calculate the mass flow rate of an impulse turbine if the whirl components Vw1 is 15m/s and Vw2 is 10m/s, and the blade speed u is 5m/s with a work output of 1000J.
💡 Hint: Solve for m with these values and ensure units are consistent.
