The inlet angle of runner blades of a Francis turbine is $${90^0}.$$ The blades are so shaped that the tangential component of velocity at blade outlet is zero. The flow velocity remains constant throughout the blade passage and is equal to half of the blade velocity at runner inlet. The blade efficiency of the runner is

A large hydraulic turbine is to generate $$300$$ $$kW$$ at $$1000$$ $$rpm$$ under a head of $$40$$ $$m$$. for initial testing, a $$1:4$$ scale model of the turbine operates under a head of $$10$$ $$m.$$ the power generated by the model (in $$kW$$) will be

A horizontal shaft centrifugal pump lifts ware at 65°C. The suction nozzle is one meter below pump centerline. The pressure at this point equal $$200$$ $$kPa$$ gauge and velocity is $$3$$ $$m/s.$$ Steam tables show saturation pressure at $${65^0}C$$ is $$25$$ $$kPa,$$ and specific volume of the saturated liquid is $$0.001020$$$ $${m^3}/kg.$$ . The pump Net Positive suction Head ($$NPSH$$) in meters is

In a Pelton wheel, the bucket peripheral speed is $$10$$ $$m/s,$$ the water jet velocity is $$25$$ $$m/s$$ and volumetric flow rate of the jet is $$0.1{m^3}/s.$$ If the jet deflection angle is $${120^0}$$ and the flow is ideal, the owe developed is:
