what is basic difference between impulse turbine and
reaction turvine

Answer Posted / anil

A turbine that is driven by high velocity jets of water or
steam from a nozzle directed on to vanes or buckets
attached to a wheel. The resulting impulse (as described by
Newton's second law of motion) spins the turbine and
removes kinetic energy from the fluid flow. Before reaching
the turbine the fluid's pressure head is changed to
velocity head by accelerating the fluid through a nozzle.
This preparation of the fluid jet means that no pressure
casement is needed around an impulse turbine.AND

A type of turbine that develops torque by reacting to the
pressure or weight of a fluid; the operation of reaction
turbines is described by Newton's third law of motion
(action and reaction are equal and opposite).
