A hydraulic turbine is a machine which converts the potential energy and kinetic energy possessed by water (hydraulic energy) into mechanical energy in the form the rotation of runner.
Introduction
Subject and UNIT: Fluid Mechanics and Machinery: Unit 4: Turbines
Turbines are machines which converts fluid power to shaft power, which rotates generators to provide electric power. Depending upon the fluid used, the turbines are known as hydraulic turbines, steam turbines and Gas turbines.
