water enter an inward flow turbine at an angle of 22° to the tangent to the outer rim and leaves the turbine radially. The speed of the wheel is 300 rpm and the velocity of flow is constant at 3 m/s. find the necessary angle of the blade when the inner and outer diameter of the turbine are 30 cm and 60 cm respectively. If width of wheel at inlet is 15 cm, calculate HP developed. Thickness of blade may be neglected.
