The function of steam nozzle is to convert
A. heat energy of steam into kinetic energy
B. heat energy of steam into rotational energy
C. kinetic energy into heat energy of steam
D. heat energy of steam into pressure energy
Answer:A
The function of steam nozzle is to convert
A. heat energy of steam into kinetic energy B. heat energy of steam into rotational energy C. kinetic energy into heat energy of steam D. heat energy of steam into pressure energy
Explanation: A steam nozzle converts heat energy of steam into kinetic energy. The mass of steam, passing through any section of the nozzle remains constant, the variation of steam pressure in the nozzle depends upon the velocity, specific volume of any dryness fraction of steam. A well designed nozzle converts the heat energy of steam into kinetic energy with a minimum losses.
