Performance of Single-Stage Turbine of Mark 25 Torpedo Power Plant with Two Special Nozzles 2 - Efficiency with 20 Degrees-Inlet-Angle Rotor Blades

"A single-stage modification of the turbine from a Mark 25 torpedo power plant was investigated to determine the performance with two nozzle designs in combination with special rotor blades having a 20 inlet angle. The performance is presented in terms of blade, rotor, and brake efficiency as a function of blade-jet speed ratio for pressure ratios of 8, 15 (design), and 20. The blade efficiency with the nozzle having circular pas- sages (K) was equal to or higher than that with the nozzle having rectangular passages (J) for all pressure ratios and speeds investigated" (p. 1).
