Description
Hydraulic machines are technical systems made up of rigid machine organs with relative motion, which converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, mechanical energy in hydraulic energy, or mechanical energy into other mechanical energy through hydraulic energy.
Water turbines convert water energy into mechanical energy. Potential energy is primarily transformed into kinetic energy.
Depending on the place of energy conversion, the class is classified as:
Action turbine: Pelton turbine
Reaction turbine: Francis turbine and Kaplan turbine
