Peabody, Cecil H. (Cecil Hobart), 1855-1934 · New York, J. Wiley & sons; [etc., etc.] · leaf 502
e reduction is a measure of the impulse producingaxial thrust. Nearly half of the thrust is borne by the fixedguides, and it is to be borne in mind that the assumption of anexaggerated coefficient for friction greatly exaggerates thisfeature, which in practice may not be very troublesome. To… … Fig. iio. In Fig. no an attempt is made to avoid axial thrust onthe vanes, and at the same time to retain a fair efficiencyby making thedelivery angle ofthe guides constant. A calculation likethat on page 492indicates that anefficiency of 0.76might be expectedin this case. It isquite likely thatin…
