Popis: Velocity factors are important parameters to determine the efficiency of turbine stages, and it is necessary to systematically study the effect of decline in velocity factors on stages efficiency under off-design conditions. In this paper the definition of the sensitivity of the velocity factors is proposed and effect of each parameter on the sensitivity is analysed. A simplified off-design model was also established to study the change of sensitivity of a governing-stage and pressure stage under the varying mass flow conditions. The results show that for the calculated turbine, the nozzle sensitivity of the governing stage is always greater than the blade for off-design conditions, and the efficiency of the nozzle in the governing stage should be emphasized. While the sensitivity of the pressure stage is related to the flow rate, it is more meaningful to improve the blade velocity factors in large mass flow conditions and it is reverse for low mass flow conditions. These findings will be meaningful in the optimization of turbine operation and design
