Hi. I have some questions regarding steam turbine. It would help if someone can clear the confusion. Thank you.
1) In a steam turbine (producing 20 MW), how do you determine the number of stages?
2) Can a turbine consists of both rateau stage and reaction stages? If yes, which one come first or can it be alternate?
3) IF we have both type of stages, how to know when the rateau stages end and the other start or vice-versa?
