Francis Turbines

Francis Turbine is a type of reaction turbine within the class of hydraulic machines that converts the kinetic and potential energy of water into mechanical energy through radial and axial flow over continuously submerged blades, distinguished by its inward radial flow configuration and adjustable guide vanes that optimize efficiency across variable flow conditions in hydropower systems.
