MODEL STUDY OF HYDRAULIC TURBINE IN PIPE

Electricity is the basic need of human beings. Per capita consumption of any country indicates in progressiveness. In India, the demand of electricity is as well as installed capacity is growing steadily. India has been facing power shortage during peak hour demand because electricity demand is grown at 10% per yearly. Still the research is going on to overcome the technical challenges associated with the development of small hydro power generation like selection of generator and turbine. In this paper the experimental study of different types of turbines and their blade configuration is carried out. The study has been carried out is totally an experiment. The result is totally based on experiments done on various floor of hostel building. Comparative efficiency of various types of turbines has been studied along with their respective heads applied, discharge, blades angle. This study is an initiation in India towards the utilization of water flow in closed pipe to generate electricity. In this paper the best anle of turbine blade is suggested.
