Abstract:The Cordier diagram for hydraulic turbines has been accurately improved and extended. The first part of this work completes the Cordier diagram by adding the effect of the number of injector nozzles in Pelton turbines. The Cordier lines (or bands) for Francis and Kaplan turbines have been recalculated based on the use of most available empirical relations without artificial smoothing of the boundaries between the different types of hydraulic turbines. Both turbine type and impeller diameter can be more accurat… Show more
