    Blade velocity ratio =
    u
    = 0.5
    v1

    or u = 0.5 v1
    where u = mean blade velocity, and
    v1 = Absolute velocity of steam at inlet
    =
    150
    = 300 m /s
    0.5

    K.E. at inlet =
    1
    × m × v12 =
    m
    (300)2 J
    22

    Nozzle efficiency = 0.9
    ∴ Isentropic heat drop in nozzle =
    (300)2
    = 50 kJ/kg
    2 × 0.9

    Correct Option: A

    η = 0.75

    ∴ ηHE =
    W
    = 0.75
    Q1


    or, Net heat input,
    Q1 =
    50
    =
    200
    0.753

    Also , W = Q1 - Q2
    or 50 =
    200
    - Q2
    3

    ∴ Net heat required Q2 =
    50
    = 16.66 kJ
