angle of 80° relative to the tangent at inlet. The blades width at the inlet is % of the outer
diameter. The water does not have any tangential velocity at the outlet. The head is 25 m
and the rotational speed of the runner is 16.67 rotations per second. The turbine efficiency
is 88 %. Determine the turbine runner diameter at the inlet and the power developed.
