Some Effects of Stator Cone Angle and Blade-Tip Leakage on 40 Percent Reaction Turbine Having Rotor-Blade Caps

Memorandum presenting an investigation of the effects of stator cone angle and tip leakage on turbine performance. A single-stage turbine with 40-percent reaction was operated with two stators and two stationary shrouds. The turbine was operated at an entrance temperature of 660 degrees R with total-pressure ratios from 1.25 to 3.70 and equivalent mean blade speeds from 166 to 655 feet per second.
