Operating charactistics of an impulse turbine

[rick]

Has anyone got a good source for the detailed performance equations for an impulse turbine? [sig]<p>Rick Schmidt<br><a href=mailto:ricks@lpl.arizona.edu>ricks@lpl.arizona.edu</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Mining, Mechanical and Electronics engineer.[/sig]

There are many fine, but old, texts on steam and gas turbines. I suggest that you start with Salisbury,J.K.; &quot;Steam Turbines and Their Cycles&quot;; John Wiley and Sons, Inc; 1950. Stodola, A.; &quot;Steam and Gas Turbines&quot;; Peter Smith; 1945
Church, E.F.; &quot;Steam Turbines&quot;; McGraw Hill; 1950. [sig][/sig]

Thanks for the info. I've finally found my old thermo book. It had most of what I needed but I'll definitly keep my eyes open for one of the references on your list.
