1.

2. Collect the data for the reaction turbine installations listed at the end of Chapter 16 of the texbook, calculate specific
speed and peripheral velocity factors. Tabulate the data using the following information: gross elevation head, power
output, number of units, operating speed, turbine diameter, frequency of electricity, specific speed and peripheral velocity
factors. Find necessary data from the internet. Unify this table with the data for impulse turbines in the previous exercise.
