Abstract:
A new type of hydraulic turbine and its design theory is
presented. This turbine has the advantages of the most widely
used Francis turbine and Straflo turbine, has its own specific
theoretical basis, compact structure, small volume, low cost and
steady operation. And it is convenient to be
transported, installed and maintained, and has good hydraulic and
cavitation performance, It is named Straflo-Francis turbine.
Key words: Straflo-Franics
