Example text
When water glides over the moving blades, its relative velocity either remains constant or reduces slightly due to friction. 8. Flow regulation is always accompanied by loss. 9. Since there is continuous drop in pressure during flow through the blade passages, the relative velocity does increase. 3. Blades are in action all the time. 19 SCIENCE VS. TECHNOLOGY The difference between science and technology is science is the knowing of what is going on, what is happening in nature, and to increase knowledge.
All the available energy of the fluid is converted into kinetic energy by an efficient nozzle that forms a free jet. 2. The jet is unconfined and at atmospheric pressure throughout the action of water on the runner, and during its subsequent flow to the tail race. 3. Blades are only in action when they are in front of the nozzle. 1. Only a portion of the fluid energy is transformed into kinetic energy before the fluid enters the turbine runner. 2. Water enters the runner with an excess pressure, and then both the velocity and pressure change as water passes through the runner.
29 FUNDAMENTAL OF POWER PLANT Recognizing the importance of oceans in economic development and progress of the Nation, the Government set-up Department of Ocean Development in July, 1981, for planning and coordinating oceanographic survey, research and development, management of ocean resources, development of manpower and marine technology. The department is entrusted with the responsibility for protection of marine environment on the high seas. The budget outlay for various schemes for ocean development during 1990–91 is Rs.
