Q

Which of the devices listed is used to convert thermal energy into rotor kinetic energy in a reaction turbine?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Energy conversion stages in a reaction turbine • Difference between fixed nozzles/diaphragms and moving blades • Where thermal (pressure/heat) energy is turned into kinetic energy of rotation

💭 Think About

• In a reaction turbine, which component is actually attached to and spins with the rotor? • Which parts mainly shape and accelerate the steam flow, and which part actually turns that flow into shaft rotation? • Think about which device is stationary and which is moving, and what each one does to the steam’s pressure and velocity.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which components are stationary (do not rotate with the rotor) • Identify which component is fixed to the rotor and directly produces shaft work • Confirm which part’s main job is converting fluid kinetic energy into mechanical rotational energy on the rotor
