A Kaplan turbine delivering 40 MW works
under a head of 35 m and runs at 167
rpm.The hub diameter is 2.5 m and runner
tip diameter is 5 m. The overall efficiency is
87%.Determine the blade angles at the hub
and tip and also at a diameter of 3.75 m.
Also find the speed ratio and flow ratio
based on tip velocity. Assume nH = 90%.
Outlet blade angle at the tip
O 11.75
20.3
43.7
O 52.5
