Experiments with a reaction turbine

The conversion of pressure energy into kinetic energy in the rotor is characteristic for reaction turbines.

• turbine to place upon the base unit
• functioning and operating behaviour of a reaction turbine
• transparent housing for observing the discharged water jet
• constant pressure of the turbine represents in practice the head and is adjusted via base unit
• turbine load using the wear-free and adjustable eddy current brake
• force sensor to determine the torque on turbine shaft
• optical speed sensor for measuring the turbine speed
• water supply, flow rate measurement and unit-specific software data acquisition and operation via base unit
• software simulation shows the trajectory of a fluid particle through the turbine
