    The impulse turbine works on the principle of impulse. Therefore it follows the impulse momentum equation.

    Blade velocity of impulse turbine is given by,

    Cb = (π d N) / 60

    Where,
    d = Drum diameter

    N = Speed of turbine in r.p.m.

    Stem velocity at inlet is represented by Ci

    Blade speed ratio of an impulse turbine can be defined as the ratio of blade velocity to steam velocity at inlet.

    s = (Blade velocity) / (Steam velocity at inlet)

    s = Cb / Ci
