# 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.

The FUTURE of Renewable Energy Sources. # Francis Turbine. James Bicheno Francis (Source: Wikipedia.org)"). As a matter of fact, his water turbine was the result of attempting to perfect the Fourneyron turbine from 1826. In this way, the turbine was able to run at a constant revolution frequency and drive the electric generator regardless of changes in the rate of flow. The Francis turbine is a reaction turbine which means that the working substance, during its way through the turbine, changes pressure, whereby it loses its energy to the runner. The water volume entering the turbine per time unit (i.e. rate of flow) can be controlled by adjusting the pitch of the guide vanes. After passing the guide vanes, the water gains the necessary velocity and is directed toward the fixed blades of the runner. The runners of Francis turbines installed in the biggest hydroelectric power plants in the world can have a diameter of more than 10 meters.

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.

The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. This article presents a study on the performance characteristics of a Francis turbine operating with various guide vane openings to determine the best operating point based on unit quantities. The performance characteristic curves of the Francis turbine—head versus speed, torque versus speed, discharge versus speed, and efficiency versus speed—were obtained at various input power and guide vane openings.
