Mechanical Engineering : Hydraulic Machines - Quiz(MCQ)
The input water power of the Francis turbine is 1.25 times the runner power. What would be the hydraulic efficiency of the turbine (in %)?
A)
60
B)
70
C)
80
D)
90

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   80


Explanation : The definition of Hydraulic efficiency in a Francis turbine states that it is the ratio between the Runner power to the shaft power. If input water power is 1.25 times the runner power, the runner power is 1/1.25 = 0.8 Times the water power. Hence, hydraulic efficiency = 80%.
