Parson's reaction turbine is a __________ reaction turbine.

In a convergent divergent nozzle, the discharge depends upon the initial conditions of steam and the area of nozzle at throat.

The critical pressure ratio for initially dry saturated steam is more as compared to initially wet steam.

The stage efficiency (η_S) is given by (where η_B = Blading efficiency, and η_N = Nozzle efficiency)

In a De-Laval nozzle expanding superheated steam from 10 bar to 0.1 bar, the pressure at the minimum cross-section (i. e. pressure at throat, p₂) will be
