Inefficiencies

• Hydraulic loses in conduits and turbines• Mechanical losses in bearings and power transmission system

• Electrical losses in generator, station use and transmission (for hydroelectric power)

• Overall effect is to reduce the theoretical power by a factor of 0.60 – 0.80

Water Power Generating Devices

• Hydraulic Rotating Prime Movers– Waterwheels (overshot, undershot, breast)– Tub wheel/flutter wheel– Turbines (Reaction: Francis, Nagler, Kaplan, Impulse: Pelton, Turgo‐wheels)

• Hydraulic Rams• Hydraulic Air Compressor

Water Turbines

Comparison of Impulse Versus Reaction TurbinesReaction Turbines

● Reaction turbines are acted on by water, which changes pressure as it moves through the turbine and gives up its energy. They must be encased to contain the water pressure (or suction), or they must be fully submerged in the water flow.

● Newton’s third law (law or reciprocal reactions or conservation of momentum) describes the transfer of energy for reaction turbines.

●Most water turbines in use are reaction turbines.● They are used in low and medium head applications.

Francis Turbine Runner

Propeller Type Kaplan Runner Impulse Turbines• Impulse turbines change the velocity of a water jet. The jet 

impinges on the turbine's curved blades which reverse the flow. The resulting change in momentum (impulse) causes a force on the turbine blades. Since the turbine is spinning, the force acts through a distance (work) and the diverted water flow is left with diminished energy.

• Prior to hitting the turbine blades, the water's pressure (potential energy) is converted to kinetic energy by a nozzle and focused on the turbine. No pressure change occurs at the turbine blades, and the turbine doesn't require a housing for operation.

• Newton’s second law (F=ma) describes the transfer of energy for impulse turbines.

• Impulse turbines are most often used in very high head applications.

• Francis turbine – mixed flow reaction turbine– Head: 300 < H < 500 m– Specific speeds: 60 ‐ 400 rpm

• Pelton turbine – an impulse turbine– Head:  50 < H < 1300 m– Specific speeds: 4 ‐ 70 rpm 

• Turgo wheels– Head:  0 < H < 250 m

• Deriaz turbine – reaction turbine, mixed flow– Head:  1 < H < 200 m

Specific Speed, ηs• This number describes the speed of the turbine at its maximum 

efficiency with respect to the power and flow rate. The specific speed is derived to be independent of turbine size.

• Given the fluid flow conditions and the desired shaft output speed, the specific speed can be calculated and an appropriate turbine design selected.

• The specific speed, along with some fundamental formulas can be used to reliably scale an existing design of known performance to a new size with corresponding performance.

• Example. Given pump rotational speed of 1760 rpm, flow rate of 1500 gal/min and head of 100 ft . Calculate the specific speed

• Solution:

• This is the specific speed for a typical centrifugal pump.
