Q1: The following data refers to an inward flow reaction turbine:

Supply : 0.85 m/s at 24.4 m head.

Wheel diameters : 76.2 cm at outer and 50.8 cm at inner portion of the runner, respectively.

Radial exit velocity: 2.44 m/s Inlet vane angle: 35° .

If the turbine efficiency is 80%, calculate the power and the speed (rev/min) of the turbine.

Match the Answer i provided [Ans. (295.7 kW, 320)]
