what is the difference between impulse and reaction turbines ?

Answer Posted / veerasiddareddy

In impulse turbine,the enthalpy drop(pressure
drop)completely, occurs in the nozzle itself and when the
fluid pass over the moving blades it will not suffer
pressure drop again.Hence pressure remain constant when the
pass over the rotor blades.

In reaction turbine ,addition to the pressure drop occurs in
the nozzle there will also be pressure drop occurs when the
fluid passes over the rotor blades.
