Problem 18.43 Aturbine is to operate under ahead of25mat 200 r.p.m. The discharge is
9cumec. Ifthe efficiency is 90%,determine theperformance oftheturbine underaheadof20metres.
Solution. Given:
Head onturbine, H₁=25m
Speed, N₁=200r.p.m.
Discharge, Q= 9m³/s
Overall efficiency, n =90% or0.90.
Performance oftheturbine under ahead,H₂=20 m, means to find the speed,discharge andpower
developed by the turbine whenworkingunder the headof20m.
Let forthe head, H2=20 m, Speed=N₂,discharge =Q2andpower=P₂2
