An inward flow reaction turbines has external and internal diameters as 1.10m and 0.55 m.The turbine is running 210 r.p.m. Width of turbine inlet is 25cm and velocity flow through runner is constant

and equal to 2.15 m/sec .The guide blades make an angle of 10 to the tangent of wheel and discharge at the outlet of the turbine is radical

Determine

i) The runner blade angles of inlet and outlet

ii) Head at inlet of the turbine

iii) Power developed

iv) Hydraulic efficiency

v) Draw the inlet and outlet velocity triangles

Inlet diameter or external diameter

D1=1.1m

D2=0.55m

N=210 rpm

B1=25cm=0.25m

vE1=vf2=2.15 m

Guide blade angle d=10

Discharge at outlet is radical i.e β=90

vw2=0

enter image description here

i) Runner blade angle at inlet Θ and at outlet Θ:-

u=πD1,N60=π×11×21060=12.1m/s

u2=πD2N60=π×0.55×21060

Q=πD1B1V1=π×1.1×0.25×2.15=1.8575m3/s

mass flow rate

m=pQ=1000×1.8375=18575 kg/s

from inlet velocity ACD we get

Vm1=AD=VAtanα=2+5tan10=12.193 m/s

V1=Vw1cosα=12.193cos10=12.381 m/s

BD-Vm1U1=12.193-12.1=0.093 m/s
