Take the blade velocity cocfficient for all blades as 0.9. The mean diameter of the blading is 750 mm and the turbine shaft speed is 3000 rev/min.

In a trial run, the De Laval steam turbine at Oman Power Plant rotates at 3000 rpm. The steam is issued from the nozzle at 400 m/s and the nozzle angle is 20o. The blade speed ratio is 0.41and the friction loss in the blade channel is 15%of the kinetic energy corresponding to the relative velocity at the inlet to the blades.
