The power output of a hydraulic turbine depends on the diameter D of the turbine, the density
Question:
The power output of a hydraulic turbine depends on the diameter D of the turbine, the density ρ of water, the height H of water surface above the turbine, the gravitational acceleration g, the angular velocity ω of the turbine wheel, the discharge Q of water through the turbine, and the efficiency η of the turbine. By dimensional analysis, generate a set of appropriate dimensionless groups.
