# 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.

Francis Turbine: Construction, Working Principle, Diagram, PDF & Efficiency. Francis Turbine: Construction, Working Principle, Diagram, PDF & Efficiency Exam Preparation. A Francis Turbine is a widely used type of reaction turbine that efficiently converts both the pressure energy and kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy. Known as a mixed-flow reaction turbine, water enters the turbine radially and exits axially, allowing smooth and effective energy conversion. Francis Turbines are particularly suitable for medium-head hydroelectric power plants, with water heads ranging from 40 meters to 600 meters. The turbine’s performance is measured through Francis Turbine efficiency, which includes mechanical, hydraulic and overall efficiency parameters, providing insight into energy conversion effectiveness. Operating as a reaction turbine, it harnesses the power of water under high pressure, utilising both the reaction and impulse forces generated as the water flows past its blades. This turbine is widely employed in hydroelectric power plants for energy generation.

Hydroelectric Power Plants and the Characteristics of Francis Turbines. The Francis turbine is a type of turbine that can be used in medium and high head conditions. It is among the most frequently used reaction turbines in medium or large-scale hydroelectric power plants. First, when looking at what a Francis turbine is; these are reaction turbines that can be used in hydroelectric power plants of different sizes. In this aspect, water enters the turbine in an axial direction from the surroundings towards the center and exits in a radical manner in Francis turbines, which are preferred in many applications. In this aspect, they are among the types of reaction turbines, just like Kaplan turbines. Francis turbines are the most frequently used turbines in hydroelectric power plants. Thus, Francis achieved a remarkable efficiency rate of 88%.Working Principle of the Francis Turbine In these types of reaction turbines, water enters axially from the surroundings of the turbine towards the central point.

The maximum efficiency is obtained at the lean angle of 0°, while the efficiency decreases linearly as the lean angle increases.

Due to this wide operating range, the **Francis turbine is the most common type of hydroelectric turbine employed today**. Gaps between the blades allow water to flow from the outer periphery of the runner to the inner section of the runner; this type of flow is known as radial flow. As the cross-sectional area decreases, the velocity of the water in the case is maintained and an even flow of water is delivered to the runner. The purpose of the guide vanes is to convert the potential energy of the water to kinetic energy, and to direct the water into the runner at an optimal angle. The water is then discharged downwards, out of the base of the runner; this type of flow is known as **axial flow** due to the flow being in a parallel direction to the runner shaft. Once water is flowing through the runner, the blades convert the potential energy of the water to mechanical energy.
