PART B : FRANCIS TURBINE

1.0 OBJECTIVE
To determine the relationship between the head, flow rate, velocity, power and efficiency of Francis
Turbine.

2.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, students should be able to apply the knowledge and skills they have
learned to:
a. Understand the basic operating system of the Francis Turbine.
b. Understand on the factors which influence the efficiency of turbine.

3.0 THEORY
Hydraulic power can be obtain at the turbine inlet (usually known in watt unit) and can be calculated
as, Phyd  H totQ , and Q as the volume discharge that can be read from the measuring equipment
(m3/s) and  is a water weight per unit of volume (9820 N / m3).
H tot is a total head (m) which can be calculated (using theorem Bernoulli method) in a circuit section
flow just before the turbine in a location of pressure head as a total of three parameter,
H tot  H man  H kin  H pres which is Hman is a the differences of pressure head position which
measured the pressure and the turbine shaft bar. As using the experimental table, H man  0.20m (if
the pressure decreasing at the turbine point out which cause by the mixer which count as an
available head, Hman can be calculated as the height differences between the pressure gauging point
position and the point of water level at the outflow of reservoir) is a kinetic parameter which cause by
water velocity, vm (in m / s), at the pressure gauging location, where the pipe section is Sm (this value
H kin  vm / 2 g , whereas g is the gravity constant
2
is not S and v value at the inlet section).
(9.81m/s2) and vm=Q/Sm. H pres  m /  is a resultant parameter from water pressure,  m (in unit
N/ m2) as measured by pressure gauging. In calculation table, the readable gauging value which
has been read by four gauging, all the readable value from the calculation can be added by the
related values, vm, Hman, Hkin, Hpres, Htot, Phyd, which has been described first. This following
relationship, has been used to calculated the value of mechanical power out, Pmec (usually in watt),
Pmec  c  2n / 60 , whereas  , is the turbine angular velocity (in rad / s), n is a turbine average
velocity obtain by reader equipment (RPM) and c is a braking torque velocity at the turbine shaft as
 P 
obtain by reader equipment (Nm). Lastly, the turbine overall efficiency,    mec  is calculated
 Phyd 
 
as the ratio of power at outlet point compared to the generated power. Last table arrangement for
the experimental value and the calculation value (for each z ) can be explained in a provided table.

4.0 EQUIPMENTS
Francis Turbine equipment

5.0 PROCEDURES
1. Close the delivery control shutter.
2. Fixed the distributor leverage at the chosen value (50% and 100%).
3. Open the delivery control shutter until desired flow rate.
4. Records the reading of pressure ( m ), speed ( n ), flow rate ( Q ), and voltage (V) for each
distributor leverage value in Table 6.1.
5. Repeat 3 - 4 steps with different distributor leverage value.

PRECAUTION : Must ensure the delivery control shutter should be closed before switch on the
equipment. Carelessness may cause equipment damage.

6.0 RESULT AND CALCULATIONS

(Refer to Appendix A)

7.0 QUESTIONS
1. Plot a graph of:
a. Turbine velocity versus flow rate.
b. Turbine velocity versus output torque.
c. Turbine velocity versus hydraulic power.
d. Turbine velocity versus mechanical power.
e. Turbine velocity versus efficiency.
2. Give your comment(s) from the graph obtained.
3. State FIVE (5) safety factors that have been taken in the experiment.
