63. Why do double flow reaction turbines produce very little axial thrust?

Because partially expanded steam is exhausted to the low-pressure turbine where the expansion is completed.
Because there is no pressure drop across the blades.
Because the axial thrust is developed on the rotor in opposite directions providing counterbalance.
Because equalizing holes are provided in the turbine wheels.
