Why do double flow reaction turbines produce...
Question 1 of 27070
Q
Why do double flow reaction turbines produce very little axial thrust?
A
Because partially expanded steam is exhausted to the low-pressure turbine where the expansion is completed.
B
Because there is no pressure drop across the blades.
C
Because the axial thrust is developed on the rotor in opposite directions providing counterbalance.
D
Because equalizing holes are provided in the turbine wheels.
