ed to undergo from the pressure in theboiler to that which prevails on the idle side of the disk.The turbine works best when operated as a condensing^engine. It will be apparent, however, that a different cross-section of nozzle will be required as the initial and terminalpressures vary. To… … Fig. 46**. it can be brought about that the pressure of the steam at itsissue from the nozzle is so reduced that the energy is invelocity and not in the form of pressure. A simple calcula-tion involving the velocity due to a pressure takes the form v* = 2gh, p — hD, v - D. whence When the values…
