In the present paper, an optimized design procedure capable of providing the geometry of a high efficiency compact hydraulic propeller turbine for low head is proposed and developed. The turbine preliminary design is based on fundamental turbomachinery mean-line equations and on the employment of statistical correlations, which relate the main...

In this paper, a design procedure for a compact hydraulic propeller turbine for low heads is proposed and developed. The design is based upon classical criteria and on the employment of statistical correlations, which relates the main geometrical parameters to the fundamental design parameters of turbomachinery. The procedure for obtaining the...
