Performance of Single-Stage Turbine of Mark 25 Torpedo Power Plant with Two Special Nozzles 1 - Efficiency with 0.45-inch Rotor Blades

"An investigation was made of the first-stage turbine of a Mark 25 torpedo power plant to determine the performance of the unity with two nozzle configurations and a special rotor having 0.45-inch blades instead of the standard length of 0.40 inch. Both nozzles had smaller passages than the nozzles of similar shape that were previously investigated. The performance of the nozzle-blade combinations is evaluated in terms of brake, rotor, and blade efficiency as functions of blade-jet speed ratio for three pressure ratios" (p. 1).
