Please shoe all the workings out and use the table 10.1 for the
selection of turbine and 10.10 for the diameter of the turbine. And
please answer part A and part B
Problem 1. (8 points) For a hydraulic power generation sites, select an appropriate turbine type and calculate its diameter for the following operating conditions: (a) the available net head is 92 m and the water flow rate is 5.1 m/s with 380 rpm and (b) the available net head is 150 m and the water flow rate is 69 m/s with 850 rpm.
