# Francis turbine blade design on the basis of port area and loss analysis. In this study, a Francis turbine with specific speed of 130 m-kW was designed on the basis of the port area and loss analysis. The meridional shape of the runner was designed focusing mainly on the combination of the guide vane loss analysis and experience. The runner blade inlet and outlet angles were designed by calculation of Euler's head, while the port area of blade was modified by keeping constant angles of the blade at inlet and outlet. The results show that the effect of the port area of runner blade on the flow exit angle from runner passage is significant. A correct flow exit angle reduces the energy loss at the draft tube, thereby improving the efficiency of the turbine. The best efficiency of 92.6% is achieved by this method, which is also similar to the design conditions by the one dimension loss analysis.

# Francis Turbine Design for Hydropower Generation. Home » Francis Turbine Design for Hydropower Generation. CFTurbo Francis Turbine Design for Hydropower Generation. As the world shifts to greater reliance on sustainable energy sources, the design and optimization of relevant turbomachinery devices are imperative. The CFturbo software allows its users to build and optimize all components of Hydro Turbines, as shown in this introductory case study of a Francis turbine. The Francis turbine is a longstanding monument in the world of turbomachinery, dating back to the mid-19th century. The Francis turbine was invented in the mid-19th century by engineer James Bichens Francis to produce hydroelectric power. A baseline geometry was prepared using the Hydro Turbine module within the CFturbo software. Figure 2 Francis Turbine Design – CFturbo, 3D View. Using a CFturbo engineered Python script solution in conjunction with the Replace Part Operation within Star-CCM+, 25 unique Francis Turbine CFturbo designs were created and simulated using a mesh of approximately 8.5 million polyhedral cells and a steady-state solver.

Evaluation of the Fluid Model Approach for the Sizing of Energy Storage in Wave-Wind Energy Systems. Analysis of the Potential for Use of Floating Photovoltaic Systems on Mine Pit Lakes: Case Study at the Ssangyong Open-Pit Limestone Mine in Korea. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. In this study, a Francis turbine with specific speed of 130 m-kW was designed on the basis of the port area and loss analysis. The results show that the effect of the port area of runner blade on the flow exit angle from runner passage is significant. In this study, a new method on basis of the port area and loss analysis to design a Francis turbine runner was developed for the Miryang power station in Korea. The meridional shape of the runner was designed on the basis of the combination of the guide vane loss analysis and experience.

# Francis turbine. Francis inlet scroll at the Grand Coulee Dam. Side-view cutaway of a vertical Francis turbine. Here water enters horizontally in a spiral-shaped pipe (spiral case) wrapped around the outside of the turbine's rotating *runner* and exits vertically down through the center of the turbine. The **Francis turbine** is a type of water turbine. Francis turbines are the most common water turbine in use, and can achieve over 95% efficiency. A wicket gate "Wicket gate (hydraulics)") around the outside of the turbine's rotating runner controls the rate of water flow through the turbine for different power production rates. Francis turbines are usually mounted with a vertical shaft, to isolate water from the generator. The Francis turbine is a type of reaction turbine, a category of turbine in which the working fluid comes to the turbine under immense pressure and the energy is extracted by the turbine blades from the working fluid.

# Machine Learning for Hydraulic Francis Runner Design Optimization. A new methodology uses **3D Inverse Design** technology coupled with **Reactive Response Surface (RRS) Machine Learning** to rapidly optimize Francis hydraulic turbine runners. This approach requires only **10 input parameters** to explore a vast design space and, in just a few hours, discovered optimized designs that showed significant performance gains, including **5-9 percentage points higher efficiency** and an **8-28% increase in shaft power** over the baseline model. In this blog we look at how ADT’s Reactive Response Surface + CAE technology (RRS+CAE) is driving better hydraulic turbine design through Machine Learning. ## • The Francis Runner performance challenge - and the solution • Where to start - Generate a meanline Francis runner design • 3D Inverse Design is the enabling technology for Machine Learning • How to establish a baseline for turbine performance • Optimization of a Francis runner via Machine Learning • RRS gives design choices and performance gains • Final validation of the Machine Learning solution • Conclusions.
