    Maximum vapor velocity from a heat exchanger into a turbine

    I have looked studied the de laval nozzle before but haven't read much into the use in steam turbines. I will be sure to read into that. I guess for my design I would have to ensure I have enough back pressure to reach supersonic speed exiting the nozzle. If I decided to go subsonic with a...

    Maximum vapor velocity from a heat exchanger into a turbine

    Hi Everyone, I am looking at designing a small impulse steam turbine that runs off of saturated refrigerant vapor delivered from a shell and tube heat exchanger. With the design of the turbine, I am looking to maximize the velocity that the steam can exit from a diverging nozzle in order to be...
