Model Testing

In a laboratory experiment using a scaled down model to measure scour at a bridge pier, the Froude number is important. The ratio of the prototype length to the model length is 100...

A test is conducted on a one-fifth scale model of a Francis turbine under a head of 2 m and volumetric flow rate of 1 m³/s at 450 rpm. Take the water density and the acceleration d...

A model of a hydraulic turbine is tested at a head of $$1/{4^{th}}$$ of that under which the full scale turbine works. The diameter of the model is half of that of the full scale t...

A large hydraulic turbine is to generate $$300$$ $$kW$$ at $$1000$$ $$rpm$$ under a head of $$40$$ $$m$$. for initial testing, a $$1:4$$ scale model of the turbine operates under a...

A Hydro turbine is required to give $$25$$ $$MW$$ at $$50$$ $$m$$ head and $$90$$ $$rpm$$ runner speed. The laboratory facilities available, permit testing of $$20$$ $$kW$$ models...

A $$7MW$$ hydro turbine working under a head of $$10$$ $$m$$ at a rotational speed of $$125$$ $$rpm$$ is to be designed and developed by conducting model tests in a laboratory. Max...
