Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of a hydraulic turbine?

  • To pump water
  • To convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy (correct)
  • To convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy
  • To generate electric power

    • What is the definition of Gross Head?

  • The head available at the inlet of the turbine
  • The head loss due to friction
  • The effective head available at the inlet of the turbine
  • The difference between the head race level and tail race level when no water is flowing (correct)

    • What is the formula for Net Head?

  • H = Hg / hf
  • H = Hg * hf
  • H = Hg + hf
  • H = Hg - hf (correct)
