Analysis of Radial Flow Reaction
Turbines (continued)
Vector diagram of velocities at
entrance (1) and exit (2) of vane on impeller: V
= U + W where | U1 | = r1
ω and | U2 | = r2
ω |
Note: The relative velocity diagrams are
essential in the analysis of fluid motion on the impeller since
the transverse components of the absolute fluid velocity, Vt1 and
Vt2 , need to be
calculated. Click
