A Francis radial-flow hydroturbine has the following dimensions, where location 2 is the inlet and location 1 is the outlet: r2 = 6.60 ft, r1 = 4.40 ft, b2 = 2.60 ft, and b1 = 7.20 ft. The runner blade angles are ?2 = 82° and ?1 = 46° at the turbine inlet and outlet, respectively. The runner rotates at n. = 120 rpm. The volume flow rate at design conditions is 4.70 ×106 gpm. Irreversible losses are neglected in this preliminary analysis. Calculate the angle ?2 through which the wicket gates should turn the flow, where ?2 is measured from the radial direction at the runner inlet. Calculate the swirl angle ?1, where ?1 is measured from the radial direction at the runner outlet. Does this turbine have forward or reverse swirl? Predict the power output (hp) and required net head (ft).
Look up the word affinity in a dictionary. Why do you suppose some engineers refer to the turbomachinery scaling laws as affinity laws?
The dimensions of a Francis radial-flow hydroturbine are r2 = 2.00 m, r1 = 1.30 m, b2 = 0.85 m, and b1 = 2.10 m, where location 2 is the inlet and location 1 is the outlet. At the turbine inlet and outflow, the runner blade angles are β2 = 71.4° and β1 = 15.3°, respectively. The runner rotates at a rate of ń = 160 rpm. At design conditions, the volume flow rate is 80.0 m3 /s.
(a) State the necessary assumptions and calculate the angle α2 at which the wicket gates should turn the flow (Figure Q1), with α2 measured from the radial direction at the runner inlet.
(b) Calculate the swirl angle α1 (Figure Q1), where α1 is the angle measured from the radial direction at the runner output.
(c) Calculate the needed net head and power output.
(d) Discuss the actual power output and head required for actual case of the turbine (irreversibility not neglected).
