In reaction turbines, the axial thrust is due to ____________
A)pressure drop across the rotor
B)change in axial velocity
C)both pressure drop across the rotor and change in axial velocity
D)none of the mentioned

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In reaction turbines, the axial thrust is due to both the pressure drop across the rotor and the change in axial velocity. This is because the reaction principle involves a change in pressure and velocity as the fluid moves through the rotor, resulting in a net axial force.
