In a turbine of this type, the speed of thebuckets can scarcely be made equalto half that of the steam; a moreusual proportion is The velocityu thus seldom exceeds 1400 ft. persecond. Fixing the bucket speed andthe absolute entering angle of thesteam (usually 20°) we determinegraphically the entering angle of thebucket. The bucket may now be de-signed with equal angles, which wouldeliminate end thrust if there were noFig. 253.
