A Francis turbine of an over all efficiency of 75% is required to produce 148.25 kW. It is working under a head of 7.62 m. The peripheral velocity coefficient is 0.26 while radial velocity of flow coefficient is 0.96. the wheel runs at 150 rpm. The hydraulic losses in the turbine are 22% of the available energy. Assuming radial discharge : • 1- guide blade angle • 2- wheel vane angle 3- wheel diameter at inlet and

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
