Steam at a velocity stage with reactance expands and accelerates only in the stator vanes; it does not expand any further in the rotor vanes, but merely changes its flow direction as the shape of the steam passage changes. The mechanical work done by the stage is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the steam stream within the rotor vanes.
Its characteristic is that the degree of expansion of steam in the moving blade cascade is the same as that in the nozzle.

For impulse stages with reaction degree, the reaction degree ranges from 0.2 to 0.3; most of the steam expansion occurs within the nozzle, with only a small portion taking place in the rotor blades. Its working capacity is greater than that of a reaction stage, and its efficiency is higher than that of a pure impulse stage, making it widely used in steam turbines.
