🔍 Key Concepts

• Impulse vs. reaction turbines and where pressure drop occurs • Role of nozzles in converting pressure energy to velocity • How moving and fixed blades are shaped to direct and accelerate steam flow

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which turbine type does most of the steam pressure drop happen in the nozzles rather than across the moving blades? • Consider: If both fixed and moving blades are shaped like nozzles, what does that tell you about where the steam is expanding and accelerating? • Think: Does an impulse turbine rely more on high-velocity jets from separate nozzles, or on the pressure drop across the blade passages themselves?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which turbine type is defined by pressure drop across both fixed and moving blades rather than only in the nozzles • Check which classification specifically mentions blade passages acting as nozzles in textbook definitions • Eliminate options that describe flow direction only (like axial/helical/radial) instead of the thermodynamic principle of operation
