1. A water turbine is to be designed to produce 27 MW when running at 93.7 rpm under a head of 16.5 m. A model turbine with an output of 37.5 kW is to be tested under dynamically similar conditions with a head of 4.9 m. Calculate the model speed and scale ratio. Assuming a model efficiency of 88%, estimate the volume flow rate through the model. It is estimated that the force on the thrust bearing of the full-size machine will be 7.0 GN. For what thrust must the model bearing be designed?
