A reaction turbine also rotates its blades due to the impending pressurized steam, but the steam does not strike the blades perpendicular, as in an impulse turbine. The steam is directed to flow along the blades, thus causing the blades to rotate because of the reaction force more than the impulse force. The reaction turbine has a nozzle design that is incorporated on its blades itself, thus reducing space and making it more compact, as no fixed nozzles were required. The only constraint here was that the design of the nozzles on the blades was a bit complicated; otherwise, the reaction turbine was a straight winner. Friction was reduced and it was easily more efficient than its impulse counterpart.
