    The experiment tested a turbine under different flow rates and throttle valve openings. Key results include: - Increasing the mass flow rate through the turbine increased its rotational speed, torque, and power output until an optimal point, after which performance declined. - Opening the throttle valve further increased the mass flow rate and resulted in higher turbine speeds, torques, and powers compared to closing the throttle. - Maximum power outputs of around 1100W and 750W were achieved for the fully and half-opened throttle valve settings respectively.
