Study on Improving the Empirical Formula of Calculating Francis Turbine’s Axial Hydro-Thrust

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper improved the empirical formula so that it can calculate the axial hydro-thrust under different working conditions. Then based on the operational parameters of a hydropower station, two calculation methods were used to calculate axial hydro-thrust and made comparative analysis. The results show that the improved formula is simple in computation and closely combined with parameters like flow, head and speed, and its calculation accuracy satisfies the engineering demand.
