What is the working of reaction turbine?
How does the principle of reaction come into play?
In a reaction turbine, the blades are curved, which means that the steam hits them and reacts with them, creating a force that makes the blades rotate. The steam enters the turbine at a high pressure and high velocity, and as it moves through the blades, its pressure and velocity decrease, causing a impart force on the turbine rotor. This force is then used to turn a generator and produce electricity.
