A hydraulic turbine is to be installed where the net head is 120 m and the normal available flow rate is 1.5 m3 /s. A 48 pole synchronous generator is available (to operate with a 60 Hz electrical system) and has an adequate power capacity matching the turbine. Determine
a. the rotational speed and the electrical power that can be delivered if the system efficiency (turbine and generator) is 85%;
b. the power specific speed of the turbine;
What type of turbine is being used in this application?
