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.
Conclusion:
The efficiency of the turbine A is
The efficiency of the turbine B is
The actual efficiency of the turbine B is

Extrempunkter ska anges med både läge och värde i diagrammen.arrow_forward**Problem 8-45.** The man has a mass of 60 kg and the crate has a mass of 100 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the ground is \( \mu_s = 0.4 \) and between the crate and the ground is \( \mu_c = 0.3 \), determine if the man is able to move the crate using the rope-and-pulley system shown. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram illustrates a scenario where a man is attempting to pull a crate using a rope-and-pulley system. The setup is as follows: - **Crate (C):** Positioned on the ground with a rope attached. - **Rope:** Connects the crate to a pulley system and extends to the man. - **Pulley on Tree:** The rope runs over a pulley mounted on a tree which redirects the rope. - **Angles:** - The rope between the crate and tree forms a \(30^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - The rope between the tree and the man makes a \(45^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - **Man (A):** Pulling on the rope with the intention of moving the crate.
