High Specific Speed Turbines
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 89, Issue 1
Abstract
Among the many things of interest seen and heard at the, World Power Conference (London, 1924), none perhaps was more striking than the variety of methods proposed and tried for the solution of the important problem of high specific speed turbines. From talks with experimenters and visits to European testing laboratories, from the papers on these laboratories and their work presented to the Conference, and from current literature in many languages, the speaker believes that although the subject is not new and is well known in America, yet the many excellent examples of good design and construction at present under way in Europe should be better known to members.
