Why high pressure turbines are single flow 

Answer Posted / neelima

An opposed flow high pressure-low pressure steam turbine balances thrust of the high pressure steam turbine with the thrust of the low pressure steam turbine allowing a reduction in size of thrust bearings. Higher stage reactions in both turbines may be incorporated since they are offset with the opposed flow, allowing a higher steam path efficiency. Opposed flow may be established through a cross-over pipe or utilizing a double high pressure shell.
