Difference between francis and kaplan turbines?
The comparison kaplan and francis hydro power turbine is as under: 1. Efficiency of Kaplan hydro power turbine is higher. 2. Kaplan turbine is more compact in cross-section and has higher rotational speed to that of francis hydro power turbine. 3. In Kaplan turbine, the water flow is axia and in francis trubine it is radial. 4. The runner blades in the kaplan turbine is less in number. 5. Specific speed of Kaplan turbine is 2 to 3 times that of Fancis turbine. 6. Friction loss in Kaplan turbine is less. 7. Francis turbine requires medium head while Kaplan trubines are low head hydro power turbines.

How can you Determine the difference between and Vacuum boost system and a Hydro boost system on a 1995 GMC C1500 5.7Ltr?
simple a hydro boost system,will be plumbed to the power steering unit .... it receives turning force from hydraulic power.... a vacuum boost simply gets power from the intake manifold. most hydro type systems found on 4x4 and commercial grade vehicles turning force is wrong .....stopping is right word....other wise correct
Is a windmill considered hydro power?
