Differences between impulse and reaction turbine

IMPLUSE TURBINE REACTION TURBINE The potential energy of wateris completely converted to kinetic energy while striking. The potential energy of water is partiallyconverted to kinetic energy while striking. The pressure of jet striking is atmospheric. The pressure of jet striking is less than atmospheric It is not connected directly with pipe. It is connected directly with pipe. Ex: Pelton wheel turbine Ex: Francis Turbine Draft tube is not required. Draft tube is required in tailrace.
