The concept of specific speed or type number is useful in referring to a family of
similar machines. The Ns is proportional to speed at which geometrically similar
machine would rotate when subjected to a unit head across it and when a unit
discharge or a unit power is being dealt with at the optimum operating
conditions.

Turbine Characteristics
Under the normal operating conditions the head and speed usually remain
constant, the discharge being varied by the gate movements to conform
with the changing load. There is a large variation in the efficiency of a
turbine when the gate and speed are changed. Turbine models are
generally tested to determine the conditions of their maximum efficiency
and power for which it is often necessary to study the wheel performance
at various speeds for different gate openings. The curves are then plotted

Selection of Turbines
The process of selection of turbines normally follows the following steps:
1. First broad indication for the type of turbine to be used is given by the head
available.
Maximum efficiency: varies with the type of turbine and in a particular type it varies
with the specific speed..
(b) The graphs of efficiency versus percentage load for different types of
turbines is shown below.

The best form of draft tube is a conical straight pipe extending from the bottom
of the runner to a level below the tail water. The dia. at exit end is fixed by the
consideration of obtaining a low velocity. The length of the pipe is 4 to 5 times
the inlet dia and the central angle is not taken above 8 degree. The conical pipe
draft tube is the most efficient draft tube, but it needs a very deep excavation
below the runner.
To reduce the depth of excavation an elbow type draft tube is provided, which is
consisted of (a) conical straight part (b) elbow and (c) sloping portion (x-section
changing from circular to rectangular). Elbow part has a tendency for
separation of flow at inner bend and the curvature has not to be very sharp.
The minimum radius of curvature has been found to be 0.6 D3.

The turbines are kept 30 cm lower than the elevation at which cavitations damage.
* Should not be higher than an elevation that will maintain the recommended draft head.
