Course content

The most important part in the syllabus is a thorough theoretical analysis to optimize the hydraulic design of a turbine. Parameters of great importance are the degree of reaction and pressure balancing of the blades. The reason for this is to avoid cavitation and dynamic problems when running part loaded as well as to receive a high efficiency.// This course will not be given if less than 5 students are signed up.

Learning outcome

The course provides the student with knowledge about: - Detail knowledge about the design of high head Francis turbines. - Hydraulic design of the spiral casing, stay vanes, guide vanes, runner and draft tube in a high head Francis turbine. - Forces acting on the main components of Francis- and Pelton turbines. The course gives the student insight about: - Hydraulic design of a Pelton turbine. - Mechanical design of Francis and Pelton turbines. The course should enable the student to: - Calculate detailed dimensions of a high head Francis turbine. - Calculate the individual forces acting on the main components of Francis and Pelton turbines. The course should give the student: - When the student has finished the course, he/she shall have detailed knowledge about the design of high head Francis and Pelton turbines. - The student will be able to use this knowledge in projects where these turbines are a part of a hydro power plant.
