1. An experimental inward flow reaction turbine rotates at 370 rpm. The wheel vanes are radial at
inlet and the inner diameter of the wheel is half the outer diameter. The constant velocity of flow in
the wheel is 2 m/s. water enters the wheel at an angle of 10°-4’ to the tangent to the wheel at inlet.
The breadth of the wheel at inlet is 75mm and the area of flow blocked by the vanes is 5% of the
gross area of flow at inlet. Find-
a. The net head available at the wheel
b. The wheel vane angle at the outlet
c. The outer and inner diameters of the wheel
d. The theoretical power developed by the wheel
2. An inward flow reaction turbine with a supply of 550 l/s under a head of 15m develops 74.57 kW
at 375 rpm. The inner and outer diameters of the runner are 50cm and 75 cm. The velocity of water at
exit is 3 m/s. Assuming the discharge radial and width of the wheel constant, find the overall and
hydraulic efficiencies and the inlet angles of the guide and wheel vanes.
3.An inward flow reaction turbine has external and internal diameters as 0.9m and 0.45m
respectively. The turbine is running at 200 rpm and width of the turbine at inlet is 200 mm. The
velocity of flow through the runner is constant and is equal to 1.8 m/s. The guide blades make an
angle of 10° to the tangent of the wheel and the discharge at the outlet of the turbine is radial.

flow area is 0.4 m2. The angles made by absolute and relative velocities at inlet are 20 and 60
respectively with the tangential velocity. Determine-
a. The volume flow rate
b. The power developed
c. Hydraulic efficiency
Assume whirl at outlet to be zero.

respectively. The hydraulic efficiency of the turbine is 90% when the head of the turbine is 36 m.

outlet is 15 and the width of the wheel is 100mm at inlet and outlet, determine-
