For a Kaplan turbine with runner diameter 4 m, the discharge is 60 m/s and the hydraulic and mechanical efficiencies are stated to be 90 percent and 94 percent respectively. The diameter of boss is 0.3 times the runner diameter and the speed ratio is 2.0. Assuming that discharge is free and there is no swirl at outlet, calculate the net available head on the turbine, the power developed and specific speed.

During the test of a Pelton wheel, the pressure at the end of the 6.10" diameter nozzle was 515 psig when the flow is 2,615 ft/min. The peripheral coefficient is 0.46, the turbine specific speed is 6.20 rpm, and the penstock diameter is 1.5 feet. If the mechanical efficiency is 86% and electrical efficiency is 85%, determine the diameter of wheel in feet.
