The document discusses Parson's turbine and the condition for maximum efficiency of a Parson's reaction turbine. It explains that in a Parson's turbine, the blade section and mean diameter are the same for fixed and moving blades. It also derives equations showing that for maximum efficiency, the ratio of absolute velocity of steam at the moving blade outlet to inlet (β) must be equal to the blade angle (α). This results in symmetrical velocity triangles and maximum work output from the turbine.
