This illustration shows Parsons first reaction turbine. Byreplacing the wheels by a drum rotation losses are reduced,but other difficulties are involved in end-thrust and steamleakages. The leakage of steam takes place past the balancepistons and over the tops of the blades in the original Parsonsturbine. Due to the large number of blades, it was not foundto be a mechanical device that would stand up against practicalusage. Relative Thermal Efficiencies. This being calculated for a 1,000 K\V. turbine, and assumingthat the w
