Q (3) - The Kaplan turbine is running at 55 r.p.m, of runner diameter 5 m. The axial flow area of water through the runner is 30 m². The guide blade angle at inlet is 135° and the runner blade angle at outlet is 30° to the direction of vane. If the runner blade angle at inlet is radial, determine: (i) Hydraulic efficiency of the turbine, (ii) Discharge through the turbine, (iii) Power developed by the runner, (iv) is the specific speed, (v) Diameter of boss, (vi) Speed ratio, (vii) Overall efficiency.
