two types of turbines
impulse
reaction
example of impulse
pelton
four head losses in impulse turbine system
1 loss in friction i nnozzle
2 loss in fluid friction over buckets of turbin runner
3 kinetic energy of water carried away in water
4 energy used in rotating the buckets
equation for power extracted by turbine
P=gamma Q ht
what is ht
