Compounding of steam turbine is done for_______________?
Correct answer: C. reducing the rotor speed
- A. reducing the work done
- B. increasing the rotor speed
- C. reducing the rotor speed
- D. balancing the turbine
Explanation
Compounding divides the steam expansion among several stages so that the excessive velocity or pressure drop of a single stage is avoided. Its main practical purpose is to reduce the turbine rotor speed to a manageable value.
