What is the meaning of the critical speed of a turbine, and what are its effects on the shaft line..

Answer / surya kirna

the critical speed of a turbine is the spped at which the axial and radial vibrations of the turbine are matched with the axial and radial vibrations of the shaft of the turbine(even the total turbine). because of that the these two are in resonace with each other and causes the breakdown of the mechine.

Question 45 - According to Raoult’s law for ideal liquid, x (PSAT) = yP where x is mole fraction of component in liquid, y is mole fraction of component in vapor, P is overall pressure and PSAT is saturation pressure. A liquid with 60 mole % component 1 and 40 mole % component 2 is flashed to 1210 kPa. The saturation pressure for component 1 is ln (PSAT) = 15 - 3010 / (T + 250) and for component 2 is ln (PSAT) = 14 - 2700 / (T + 205) where PSAT is in kPa and T is in degree Celsius. By assuming the liquid is ideal, calculate (a) the fraction of the effluent that is liquid; (b) the compositions of the liquid and vapor phases. The outlet T is 150 degree Celsius.
