what is the difference between impulse and reaction turbines ?

Answer Posted / abhishek

in an impulse turbine entire pressure energy is converted in
to kinetic energy as in case of a pelton turbine where the
nozzle does this..
In a reaction turbine only a part of the pressure energy is
converted to kinetic energy as in case of Francis and kaplan
turbines...
in case u want to know more pls refer Hydraulic Machines by
Modi And Seth...
