III. CONCLUSIONS
The cross-flow turbine is suitable for installing small
hydro-electric power plants in case of low head and flow
rate. A complete design of such turbines has been presented
in this paper. The maximum efficiency was found to be 88%
constant for different values of head and water flow rate.
The complete design parameters such as runner diameter,
runner length, water jet thickness, blade spacing, radius of
blade curvature, turbine power, turbine speed and number of
blades were determined at maximum turbine efficiency.
