Concept:

In order to predict the behaviour of a turbine working under a varying condition of head, speed output, etc, the results are expressed in terms of quantities that may be obtained when the head on the turbine is reduced to unity.

The following are three important unit quantities.

 Unit speed

 Speed of turbine working under
 a unit head

 \({N_u} = \frac{N}{{\sqrt H }}\)

 Unit discharge

 Discharge passing through a turbine
 which is working under a unit head

 \({Q_u} = \frac{Q}{{\sqrt H }}\)

 Unit power

 Power developed by a turbine   working under unit head

 \({P_u} = \frac{P}{{{H^{3/2}}}}\)
