Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a turbine's blade speed is doubled while maintaining the same absolute velocity, discuss how this would affect the whirl component and resulting work done.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the relationship between speed and energy.

Question 2

Given a scenario where a turbine operates under varying head pressures, analyze how changes in absolute velocity could result in shifts in work output, employing velocity triangles.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both pressure and speed interactions.
