where tanbm = 1 – 2 (tan b1 + tan b2).<br />

Now CL = L/( 1 – 2 rw 2 ml) hence, substituting for L above,<br />

The work done by each moving blade per second is YU <strong>and</strong> is transferred to the fluid<br />

through one blade passage during that period. Thus, YU = rscx(h 03 - h 01).<br />

Therefore, the stage loading factor may now be written<br />

Substituting eqn. (5.15) in eqn. (5.16) the final result is<br />

(5.16)<br />

In Chapter 3, the approximate analysis indicated that maximum efficiency is obtained<br />

when the mean flow angle is 45deg. The corresponding optimum stage loading factor<br />

at bm = 45deg is<br />
