Experiments on an existing turbine (A) yield the following data: D_A = 86.0 cm, H_A =22.0 m,V̇_A = 69.5 m³/s, ρ_A = 998.0 kg/m³, ṅ_A = 240 rpm, bhp_A = 11.4 MW. You are to design a new turbine (B) that has the following requirements: ρ_B = 998.0 kg/m³, H_B = 95.0 m, and ṅ_B = 210 rpm. Apply the computer program you developed in Prob. 14–155 to calculate D_B (m), V̇_B (m³/s), and bhp_B (MW). Also calculate the turbine specific speed. What kind of turbine is this (most likely)?

Data from Problem 14–155

Develop a general-purpose computer application (using EES or other software) that employs the affinity laws to design a new turbine (B) that is dynamically similar to a given turbine (A). The inputs for turbine A are diameter, net head, capacity, density, rotational speed, and brake horsepower. The inputs for turbine B are density (ρ_B may differ from ρ_A), available net head, and rotational speed. The outputs for turbine B are diameter, capacity, and brake horsepower. Test your program using the following inputs: D_A = 1.40 m, H_A = 80.0 m, V̇_A = 162 m³/s, ρ_A = 998.0 kg/m³, ṅ_A = 150 rpm, bhp_A = 118 MW, ρ_B = 998.0 kg/m³, H_B = 95.0 m, and ṅ_B = 120 rpm. Verify your results manually.
