Problem 18.23 A Francis turbine with an overall efficiency of 75% is reguired 1 proitace
148.25 4W power. its working under a head of 7.62 m. The peripheral velocity = 0.26 JI¥Ht and the
radial velocity of flow ai inter is 0:96.f7RH., The wheel runt at 150 rpm. and she hydrautle losses én
the turbine are 22% af the avgilable energy. Assuming radial discharge, determine *
