A reaction turbine needs to fully contain the water during energy transfer.
2.
Newton's third law describes the transfer of energy for reaction turbines.
3.
It is an inward-flow reaction turbine that combines radial and axial flow concepts.
4.
In 1849, James B . Francis improved the inward flow reaction turbine to over 90 % efficiency.
5.
Multi-stage reaction turbines employ a large pressure drop by dividing it to smaller values in individual stages.
6.
Reaction turbines are better suited to higher flow velocities or applications where the fluid head ( upstream pressure ) is low.
7.
In general, impulse turbines are used for high head sites, and reaction turbines are used for low head sites.
8.
Two further patents from 1914 covered an improved gearbox and a redesigned two-stage reaction turbine, and another in 1915 covered an improved feed cylinder.
9.
The Kaplan turbine is an outward flow reaction turbine, which means that the working fluid changes pressure as it moves through the turbine and gives up its energy.

Sir Charles Parsons ( 1854 1931 ) for invention of the reaction turbine, and to Swedish engineer Gustaf de Laval ( 1845 1913 ) for invention of the impulse turbine.
