1

B. V_b = V cos alpha
C. V_b = 0.5 V^2 cos alpha
D. V_b = V^2 cos alpha

2

For a Parson's reaction turbine, if alpha_1 and alpha_2 are fixed blade angles at inlet and exit respectively and beta_1 and beta_2are the moving blade angles at entrance and exit respectively, then

A. alpha_1 = alpha_2 and beta_1 = beta_2
B. alpha_1 = beta_1 and alpha_2 = beta_2
C. alpha_1 < beta_1 and alpha_2 > beta_2
D. alpha_1 = beta_2 and beta_1 = alpha_2

3
