why do we need to have many sets of blades to utilize the gas pressure in reaction turbines properly? why not have just a set of comparatively wider blades?
The number of blade sets in a reaction turbine is directly related to its overall efficiency. Generally, more blade sets mean better performance, as they provide more surface area for the fluid to interact with and extract energy from. However, there is a point of diminishing returns, where adding more blade sets may not significantly increase performance.
The ideal number of blade sets for a reaction turbine depends on various factors such as the type of fluid, operating conditions, and desired performance. Generally, a higher number of blade sets can lead to better performance, but it is important to consider other factors such as cost and practicality.
Yes, the number of blade sets can be changed in a reaction turbine. However, it is not a simple process and requires redesigning and manufacturing of the turbine. It is important to carefully consider the impact on performance and cost before making any changes to the number of blade sets in a reaction turbine.
The number of blade sets can affect the maintenance of a reaction turbine in various ways. Generally, more blade sets mean more parts to maintain and potential points of failure. However, a higher number of blade sets may also result in a more robust and reliable turbine. It is important to consider the specific design and operating conditions when evaluating the maintenance requirements of a turbine.
While a higher number of blade sets can lead to better performance, there are some potential disadvantages to consider. These include increased cost and complexity of manufacturing, potential for blade interference and loss of efficiency, and increased maintenance requirements. Careful consideration should be given to the specific application and design before deciding on the number of blade sets for a reaction turbine.
