This analysis delves into the principles and rules governing the design of large impulse-reaction turbines, specifically focusing on multistage reaction turbines. The text explores the relationship between momentum and energy transactions, as well as the efficiency and power output of the turbines. Detailed discussions cover the impact of blade shape, height variations, and reaction degrees on turbine performance. The application of the first law analysis in reversible reaction stages is elucidated, along with the significance of degree of reaction in turbine sizing and selection. The text also addresses the specific issues faced in large power plant steam turbines, offering solutions and configurations like Tandem Reheat Steam Turbines and Cross Compound Steam Turbines. For engineers and students in the field of mechanical engineering, this serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and optimizing large-capacity steam turbines.

General Rules for Design of Large Impulse-Reaction turbine • The shape of the blade must be viable . • The height of blade must vary at a uniform rate, thus contributing to more economic designs. • As a result of enthalpy drop occurring in the moving blades, there is a considerable amount of pressure is exerted on the rotor. • This is transmitted to thrust bearing. • To void large axial thrust it is usual to allow: • Low degree of reaction in high pressure stages. • In large steam turbines (>300 MW), it is now usual to allow 60 – 70% of degree of reaction in low pressure stages.
