TURBINES

ENERGY(SOURCE) MECHANICAL WORK

TYPES

1) STEAM TURBINES 2) GAS TURBINES 3) HYDRAULIC TURBINES

HYDRAULIC TURBINES

HYDRAULIC ENERGY

MECHANICAL ENERGY

TYPES
(I)ENERGY AT INLET a) Impulse turbine b) Reaction turbine

(II) DIRECTION OF FLOW OF WATER a) Tangential b) Radial c) Axial

(III) HEAD AT THE INLET a) High b) Medium c) Low

IMPULSE TURBINE Available energy is only kinetic energy ex : Pelton wheel REACTION TURBINE

Available energy is both potential & kinetic energy ex: Francis (radial) Kaplan(axial)
