6.4.2 Penalty for Non-optimum Mach Number<br />

Distribution PMach<br />

The characteristics <strong>of</strong> the optimum Mach number M distribution for 2D<br />

turbine blades are well known <strong>and</strong> allow the definition <strong>of</strong> penalties for a non<br />

optimum Mach number distribution. These penalties can also be derived from<br />

experimental correlations.<br />
