Micro Hydro Turbine, pressure and head, efficiency
Ok thanks, that is helpful but I think I phrased exactly what I was trying to ask quite poorly. Say for example if you have a substantially large 20m high storage tank, and at the bottom of the drop you have a ball valve connected to the end of the penstock pipe with a pressure gauge one side...- madassteve

Micro Hydro Turbine, pressure and head, efficiency
Hi, I have a question regarding the calculation of turbine efficiency. If there is a certain head available at a hydro site, say 20m then the pressure will be approx 2 bar. However the pressure at the inlet of the turbine will be lower than this when the turbine is running becuase of the flow...- madassteve
