The velocity triangles at the inlet and exit of the rotor of a turbo machine are shown. V denotes the absolute velocity of the fluid, W denotes the relative velocity of the fluid and U denotes the blade velocity. Subscripts 1 and 2 refer to inlet and outlet respectively If V2 = W1 and V1 = W2, then the degree of reaction is
