A) A large Francis turbine having the following specification: diameter of runner outside (1.5m) and runner width (0.135m). The turbine produce (16 MWatt) below the height of 260m at rotation speed (600 r.p.m). If the discharge is (7m'/s) and flow velocity at the end of draft tube is (16 m/s). Taking zero velocity of whirl at outside and blade thickness approach to zero. Find the overall and hydraulic efficiency, although find the angles between velocity of runner, relative velocity and velocity of flow.
