You can't. They are nearly opposites. The pump uses energy to change fluid flow and the turbine uses fluid flow to produce energy.

Actually, you can convert a pump into a turbine. You need all the specifications, though. The most important being the head. There are a number of manuals one can check out

What relationship exsists between turbine and generator?

A turbine is powered by such things as steam, burning gas or oil, water, or wind. The turbine is a type of engine, which might be thought of as a more efficient choice than a gas engine or reciprocating steam engine for doing the same job. The turbine could do many things ranging from powering a vehicle such as a helicopter, a ship, a locomotive, or a piece of equipment such as a centrifuge, a pump, or a generator. When a turbine powers a generator, the generator makes electricity.


Hydroelectric power depends on what two things?

A hydroelectric generator requires two things to produce power; water and head. Water is obviously needed to spin the turbine, and head is the difference in altitude between the surface of the water in the reservoir above the generator and the water turbine at the generator.


What is difference between radial flow turbine and axial flow turbine?

in a radial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of its radius and leaves it in the direction of the axis of the shaft. in a axial flow turbine the steam enters the turbine in the direction of the axis of the shaft and leaves the turbine in the same direction.


How do you spell turbine?

Turbine is the correct spelling.


Why draft tube is used in francis and kaplan turbine and not in pelton 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.

Is a turbine a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water wind or steam?

Yes, a turbine is a device that consists of a large wheel that rotates when pushed by water, wind, or steam. This rotation is used to generate mechanical power, which is often converted into electricity in power plants.


Which things can be pushed?

Objects, buttons, doors, carts, swings, swings, and luggage are all things that can be pushed.


What wheel composed of a series of blades that is used to turn a generator?

A turbine wheel is composed of a series of blades that rotate when pushed by a fluid or gas, such as steam, water, or wind. The rotation of the turbine wheel turns a generator, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.


What are bad things about wind turbines?

turbine is a one that is rotating motor which delivers the energy to machines


What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?

That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.

What are the things called that spines on a wind turbine?

The spines on a wind turbine are called blades. These blades capture the energy from the wind and convert it into rotational motion to generate electricity. The design and length of these blades play a crucial role in determining the efficiency and power output of the wind turbine.

What is the function of the Turbine Section of the Industrial Gas Turbine?

It does a number of things depending on what type of engine its coming from, but in all engines, it extracts energy from the combustion gasses and turns the shaft which also turns the compressor section.


Would a turbine be a chemical or physical change?

Turbine is not a change, a turbine is a mechanical device.


What things are in the back of a wind turbine?

There are a few things on the backs of Wind Turbines: 1) Anemometers - wind speed sensors that help the turbine fine tune its blade pitch to be most efficient. 2) Wind Vanes - wind direction sensors that keep the turbine lined up with the wind, or turn it away from the wind when the gusts are too strong and can damage the turbine. 3) Visibility Lighting - red and white lights to meet requirements of aviation authorities for visibility.
