The efficiency of the turbine B is increased too. The relative roughness on the surface of the prototypes runner blades may be significantly smaller than the model turbine. The larger turbine has smaller tips clearance relative to the blade diameter. The smaller turbines have larger tips clearance relative to the blade diameter. So the leakage is less in the larger turbine as compared to the leakage in the smaller turbine.

The efficiency of the turbine B is
The actual efficiency of the turbine B is
