Investigation of Single-Stage Modified Turbine of Mark 25 Torpedo Power Plant

"Efficiency investigations have been made on a single-stage modification of the turbine of a Mark 25 aerial torpedo to determine the performance of the unit with five different turbine nozzles. The output of the turbine blades was computed by analyzing the windage and mechanical-friction losses of the unit. The turbine was found to be most efficient with a cast nozzle having sharp-edged inlets to the nine nozzle ports" (p. 1).
