Topic: Fluid Mechanics
The specific speed of the Kaplan turbine is
- A. 2.0-5.0
- B. < 0.3
- C. 0.3-2.0
- D. 600-1000
Answer: D. 600-1000
Explanation: The Kaplan turbine has a very high specific speed, typically in the range of 600 to 1000, making it suitable for low head and high flow rate applications.
