Que 4.35. A reaction turbine is revolving at a speed of 200 rpm and
develops 5886 kW SP when working under a head of 200 m with an
overall efficiency of 80 %. Determine unit speed, unit discharge and
unit power. The speed ratio for the turbine is given as 0.48. Find the
speed, discharge and power when this turbine is working under a
head of 150 m.
Q3. A new 187 MW hydropower station is to be built at a site where the available head is estimated at 307 m. The generators require the turbine to rotate at 17 rad/sec. The only available turbines are Francis turbines with KN (the non-dimensional parameter to classify turbine ) equal to 0.07 .Determine the number of turbines required.
