francis turbine
The Kaplan turbine is a newer, more revolutionary version of the Francis turbine, which came before it. The draft tube is used so that the turbine does not need to be where the water flow is lowest.
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.
The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.

The inward flow reaction turbine having radial discharge at outlet is called Francis turbine
pelton turbines are suited to high head,low flow application but kaplan turbine are used for low head and a large amount of discharge needed. kaplan turbines are expensive to design,manufacture and install as compared to pelton turbine but operate for decades.

It is a radial flow axial turbine . It works on the principle to convert pressure energy into kinetic energy.
the peripheral velocity of the turbine is the around velocity. the increase in the velocity of the peripheral will decrease the velocity of the flow towards the turbine
Charles F. Brush invented the wind turbine in 1888. The wind turbine is an excellent form of alternative energy that many say that Charles F. Bush is a huge contributor in.
