Determine the hydraulic efficiency of the turbine

Reference no: EM131278353

Water enters an axial-flow turbine rotor with an absolute velocity tangential component, V_θ, of 15 ft/s. The corresponding blade velocity, U, is 50 ft/s. The water leaves the rotor blade row with no angular momentum. If the stagnation pressure drop across the turbine is 12 psi, determine the hydraulic efficiency of the turbine.
