Correct Answer : Option (A) : Half
Explanation : Hydraulic efficiency is defined as ratio between power given by water to runner of turbine and to the power supplied by water at inlet of the turbine. This efficiency will be maximum when differentiating it with “u” and it is obtained as u=v/2.
Correct Answer : 90.91
Explanation : The definition of Hydraulic efficiency in a Kaplan turbine states that it is the ratio between the Runner power to the shaft power. If input water power is 1.10 times the runner power, the runner power is 1/1.10 = 0.90909 Times the water power. Hence, hydraulic efficiency = 90.91%.
Correct Answer : Hydraulic efficiency
Explanation : The definition of Hydraulic efficiency in a Kaplan turbine states that it is the ratio between the Runner power to the shaft power. Hence, the correct option is Hydraulic efficiency.
Correct Answer : Kaplan turbine
Explanation : As the head for Kaplan turbine is low, the discharge of water through the turbine is high and hence, blade resistance should be low. That’s why Kaplan turbine will have the lowest number of blades.
