Hydraulic Turbines Example
A turbine is operating with a head of 400 m and speed of 500 rpm and flow rate of 5 m3/s producing the power of 17.66 MW. The head available changed to 350 m. It no other corrective action was taken what would be the speed, flow and power ? Assume efficiency is maintained.
EXAMPLE9 .2. A Pelton turbine is driven by two jets, generating 4.0MW at 375rev/min. The effective head at the nozzles is 200 m of water and the nozzle velocity coefficient, KN = 0.98. The axes of the jets are tangent to a circle 1.5 m in diameter. The relative velocity of the flow across the buckets is decreased by 15 percent and the water is deflected through an angle of 165deg. Neglecting bearing and windage losses, determine: (1) the runner efficiency; (2) the diameter of each jet;
Problem.14.17 An inward flow reaction turbine of the Francis type operates with a flow rate of 1.67 m3/s runs at 416 rpm. The available head is 81 m. The blade inlet angle is 120 with the direction of wheel velocity. The flow ratio is 0.2. Hydraulic efficiency is 92%. Determine runner diameter, the power developed and the speed ratio
