For an impulse turbine with identical stages, the hot gas exits from the stator blades at the mean blade height at an absolute angle of 70 degrees with the axis of the turbine. If the absolute inlet blade angle with the axis of the turbine at the mean blade height for the rotor blades is 37 degrees, then the absolute exit blade angle with the axis of the turbine at the mean blade height of the rotor blades is

• A. 33 degrees
• B. 37 degrees
• C. 53 degrees
• D. 53.5 degrees
