Steam Boilers, Engines, Nozzles and Turbines
For a Parson's reaction turbine, if α₁ and α₂ are fixed blade angles at inlet and exit respectively and β₁ and β₂ are the moving blade angles at entrance and exit respectively, then

α₁ = α₂ and β₁ = β₂
α₁ = β₁ and α₂= β₂
α₁ < β₁ and α₂ > β₂
α₁ = β₂ and β₁ = α₂
