Fig. 323. — Plotting the Path of theSteam Current. 452 ACTION OF THE STEAM IN THE TURBINE. [Chap. IX. the steam velocities are laid out as parallel ordinates. The kineticenergy of an element of the current varies as the square of this ordinate,and thus can be seen how the initial energy is… … Fig. 324. — Determination of Absolute Steam Velocity. the advancing jet performs work upon the moving vane. The experi-mental observations of pressure described in § 47 (n) indicate that thissmooth and simple transformation of energy falls far short of reahzation. § 47. Experiments on the Steam Jet…
