Question
Question 9.8 A quarter scale turbine model is tested under a head of 40
m. The full scale turbine is required is required to work under a head of
100 meter and to run at 430 rpm. At what speed must the model be run
and if it develops 100 kw and uses 0.35 m/sec of water at this speed.
What power will be admitted from full scale turbine assuming its
efficiency is 3% more than that of model. State the type of turbine and
explain briefly why the efficiency of fall scale turbine should be better
than the efficiency of model.
