The original design of a hydraulic turbine has data as follows: flow rate of 1 cumex, effective head of 50 m, and runner diameter of 1.5 m. If the same turbine design is to be used in another application where the available flow is 2.5 cumex and effective head is 75 m, what would be the runner diameter (in meters) for this new application?
A certain centrifugal pump was tested and its performance curves can be approximated as follows:
H = 340 - 1.2(Q2), in feet
BP = (0.0521Q3) + (1.25Q2) + (11.042Q) + 134.5, in horsepower
where Q is in ft3/s.
If two of this pump is connected in series to deliver water to a system whose head requirement is 615 ft, what will be the operating discharge rate in ft3/s of either pumps? Assuming the head is equally divided between the two pumps, what is the efficiency of either pumps (in %)? Take the specific weight of water to be 62.4 lbf/ft3.
