AFF072 Experiments with a Reaction Turbine Teaching Equipment Educational Hydraulic Workbench
Learning Objectives / Experiments
- principle of operation of a reaction turbine
- characteristic curves at constant height of fall
* relationship between torque and speed
* efficiency dependent on speed
* flow rate dependent on speed
* hydraulic power and mechanical power depending on speed
- evaluation of measuring values and characteristics based on the theory

Specification
[1] turbine to place upon the base unit  
[2] functioning and operating behaviour of a reaction turbine
