Unit Speed of Turbine Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Unit Speed of Turbine?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

N u = \frac{N}{\sqrt{H}}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

N u = \frac{350rev/min}{\sqrt{250m}}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

N u = \frac{36.6519rad/s}{\sqrt{250m}}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

N u = \frac{36.6519}{\sqrt{250}}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

N u = 2.31807059523438

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

N u = 2.3181

Unit Speed of Turbine Formula Elements

Variables

Functions

Unit Speed

Unit speed is defined as the speed of a geometrically similar turbine working under a head of 1m.

Symbol: N_u

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Unit Speed

Working Speed

Working speed of a hydroelectric plant depends on various factors such as the design of the plant, the type of turbines used, the head and flow rate of water, and the desired electrical output.

Symbol: N

Measurement: Angular VelocityUnit: rev/min

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Working Speed

Fall Height

Fall height, is an important factor in hydroelectric power generation. It refers to the vertical distance that the water falls from the intake point to the turbine.

Symbol: H

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Fall Height

sqrt

A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.

Syntax: sqrt(Number)
