FIG. 6.5. Solution <strong>of</strong> exit axial-velocity pr<strong>of</strong>ile for a first power stage.<br />

It is illuminating to calculate the actual variation in reaction taking account <strong>of</strong><br />

the change in axial velocity. From eqn. (5.10c) the true reaction across a normal stage<br />

is<br />

From the velocity triangles, Figure 5.2,<br />

As wq1 + w q2 = 2U - (c q1 + c q2) <strong>and</strong> w q1 - w q2 = c q2 - c q1,<br />

For the first power swirl distribution, eqn. (6.15),<br />

From the radial equilibrium solution in eqn. (6.19), after some rearrangement,
