Where Hb = Barometric pressure head in m of water,
Hatm = Atmospheric Pressure head in m of water,
Hv = Vapour pressure head in m of water,
Hs = Suction pressure at the outlet of reaction turbine in m of water or
height of turbine runner above the tail water surface,
H = Net head on the turbine in m
