An existing code for calculating axial turbine performance using multiple stream surfaces was modified and made to run on the equivalent of an HP- 1000 computer system. Calculations were made for the geometry of a 485 horsepower dual-discharge air-drive turbine for both on and off -design conditions. The results were compared with available data obtained at off -design speeds. Agreement of the flow rate and horsepower to within 51 was obtained. http://archive.org/details/computerevaluati1094520464 Lieutenant, United States Navy Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
