Why is the runaway speed of a hydraulic turbine always kept twice its normal speed?

The runaway speed of a hydraulic turbine is the speed at which the turbine coupled to the generator runs at the maximum possible speed due to loss of load and this happens until the shut off valves completely closes the discharge from the penstock. the runaway speed of the turbine is determined by the turbine designer and is influenced by the maximum discharge of water from the penstock, the combined inertia of the turbine runner and the generator and the flywheel. this factor can vary from 1.5 up to 3 times the nominal speed of the turbine and is determined by the turbine designer considering all the load parameters.


In a wind turbine - does increasing the blade length or decreasing the blade length increases the speed of the turbine?

Decreasing the blade length will increase the rotation speed, and thus the turbine speed ( for constant wind speed ).


How does ship's engine works?

Turbine i.e., engine converts fuel energy to mechanical energy by means of combustion...This turbine will drive the generator shaft i.e., mechanical input and the output will be electrical power and this electrical power will feed into induction motor which will converts this electrical power to mechanical power i.e., to drive the propeller and the ship will propel. The turbine used may be gas turbine or hydraulic turbine which depends on the speed of the ship should advance.


What is second critical speed of turbine?

Critical speed means where natural frequency is equal to system frequency.


What does self-sustaining speed in a gas turbine Mean?

Self-sustaining speed in a gas turbine refers to the operational condition where the turbine can generate enough thrust and power to maintain its own rotational speed without external assistance. At this point, the energy produced from the combustion process matches the energy losses due to friction and other factors, enabling the turbine to operate efficiently. Achieving self-sustaining speed is critical for the turbine to transition from startup to stable operation.

What is Runaway Speed of hydraulic Turbine and how it is calculated?

The runaway speed of a water turbine is its speed at full flow, and no shaft load. The turbine will be designed to survive the mechanical forces of this speed. The manufacturer will supply the runaway speed rating.

What is speed ratio of turbines?

The speed ratio of turbines refers to the ratio of the rotational speed of the turbine rotor to the rotational speed of the turbine shaft. This ratio is important for defining the mechanical performance and efficiency of the turbine.

What du you understand by the term governing of steam engine?

A governor is a speed control device. It can be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electronic. It maintains a specific speed of rotation of the flywheel of the engine, or the shaft of a turbine, which is set by the operator. Governing an engine is just that, controlling the speed of the engine.


Why turbine is used in turbine mounted pumps?

turbine is considered there as a prime mover.this turbine will be driven bt STEAM OR HYDRAULIC OIL OR ELECTRICALLY so that when it is coupled with a pump it works creating a pressure or vaccum enough to pump the fluid.
