Introduction :
The turgo turbine is an impulse type turbine, water does not change
pressure as it moves through the turbine blades. In this type of turbine the total energy
of water is converted into kinetic energy in the form of a jet of water by providing a
nozzle at the end of penstock . This jet of water strikes on the bucket of the wheel of
turbine , which applies an impulse force on the buckets and the torque is produced
which rotates the turbine . The runner of the turbine is attached to a shaft so the
mechanical energy is transmitted to the shaft in the field , shaft of the turbine is attached
to generator , which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy .

Discussion :
Conclusion :
In table 2.2 , we concluded in second column angular velocity which we have measured
by stroboscope then in third column we have measured volume in m3 and in time noted
in next column . In forth column we have calculate discharge by dividing volume into
time. then in next column we have calculate total head by pressure head and neglecting
velocity head . In 7 column, we have write force which is measured by dynamometer
and in next column we have calculate torque by multiplying force by radius in Nm . and
then we have calculated output power in 9 column by and input power in 10 column
and in last we have calculated efficiency of turbine by using formula
