Figure 16 Spreadsheet for preliminary axial-flow turbine sizing showing iterated<br />

results for example turbine.<br />

stator at 0.020 in. These values are selected based on the guidelines given<br />

earlier in the chapter. Solving Eq. (57) for the blade number results in<br />

Z ¼ ðb=sÞ2prm<br />

tte= cosðateÞ<br />

For the stator, the flow angle a1 is used for ate; for the rotor, the relative flow<br />

angle b 2 is substituted for ate. The blade angle is slightly different from the<br />

flow angle due to blockage effects, but for preliminary sizing, the<br />

approximation is acceptable. For the stator, we have<br />
