# 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.

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.

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.

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.

# Understanding the Flow Through Francis Turbines. This is the first article in a 4-Part series on **Hydraulic Turbines:**. There are many types of hydraulic turbines; the most common ones are – Pelton turbines, Francis turbines and Kaplan turbines. Though all three types of turbines are designed to meet the objective of power extraction from water, they differ in their working mechanism and operating conditions. This article is the first in a series of articles on **Hydraulic Turbines**, covering various aspects like the difference between Pelton-Francis-Kaplan turbines, the working mechanism, and flow disturbances in Francis turbines. Turbine types - pelton turbine, Francis turbine, Kaplan turbine. ***Figure 2:** **a.** Pelton turbine. Another difference is that Pelton turbines are suitable for places with water stored at high altitude, which enables to attain high head and high velocity, while Kaplan turbines are better suited for locations with high water flow rate and low head. #### **The Working Mechanism of a Francis Turbine**.
