Water turbine is one of the mechanical equipment that functions to generateenergy into mechanical energy. There are types of water turbines one of which isthe Savonius water turbine. Savonius water turbines have the advantage of otherturbines, namely installation in rivers that do not damage the environment, areable to work and do not require special maintenance as well as providingweaknesses that can affect the positive force and the negative force on the rotor isstill small. This turbine has never been widespread. To make this turbine it ispossible to conduct research to improve its performance, especially in the turbinerotor. In these words we will try the rattan turbine by varying the blade's turningangle from 00, 30o, 60o, 90o and 120o and adding ½ and ¼ opening flow guides.Based on the results of the research that we have done, we can say the differencein blade angle and flow guide to turbine performance. The variation of twist angleand flow controller that provides the most appropriate turbine performance is a90o swivel with turbine flow guide openings ¼. At the swivel angle 120o the waveguide is not as wide.

The impulse water turbine is a promising energy conversion device that can be used as mechanical power or a micro hydro generator, and its application can effectively ease the current energy crisis. This paper aims to clarify the mechanism of liquid acting on runner blades, the hydraulic performance, and energy conversion characteristics in the runner domain of an impulse water turbine with a splitter blade by using experimental tests and numerical simulations. The runner was divided into seven areas along the flow direction, and the power variation in the runner domain was analyzed to reflect its energy conversion characteristics. The obtained results indicate that the critical area of the runner for doing the work is in the front half of the blades, while the rear area of the blades does relatively little work and even consumes the mechanical energy of the runner to produce negative work. The high energy area is concentrated in the flow passage facing the nozzle. The energy is gradually evenly distributed from the runner inlet to the runner outlet, and the negative energy caused by flow separation with high probability is gradually reduced. The clarification of the energy conversion performance is of great significance to improve the design of impulse water turbines.

Electricity problems in rural areas more and more electric power is needed. Until now, power plants that use water turbines are environmentally friendly electricity producers, so the potential for energy from the air needs to be utilized to address the demand for electricity. Therefore, the solution to this problem is to use the "Design and Construction of Hydroelectric Generator for Public Street Lighting".  The generator is a source of electric voltage obtained by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which is by rotating a coil in a magnetic field so that the induced GGL (Electric Motion Force) arises. In this thesis, a research is conducted on the Water Turbine Generator in the river in the village area of Padi Gondang Mojokerto as an object of water flow in order to generate electric power to reduce crime in the area in the form of a load object in the form of Public Street Lighting.

Fundamental mechanisms of energy transfer, which is caused between impeller blade and fluid particles in centrifugal pumps and water turbines, are discussed together with as a turbomachinery under same theoretical basement. This leads to the result that the fluid flow which directs radial outward in pump and that radial inward in water turbine are neither caused by centrifugal force nor centripetal force, but caused by tangential forward force, which acts on the impeller blade in the direction perpendicular to rotational radius. Hydraulic energies of fluid particles transferred from mechanical to hydraulic energy in pump and that to be transferred from hydraulic to mechanical energy in water turbine appear as centrifugal force FHCF in rotational flow passage.

This work derives and applies a method for the investigation of numerical accuracy in computational fluid dynamics. The method is used to investigate discretization errors in computations of swirling flow in water turbines. The work focuses on the conservation of a subset of the angular momentum equations that is particularly important to swirling flow in water turbines. The method is based on the fact that the discretized angular momentum equations are not necessarily conserved when the discretized linear momentum equations are solved. However, the method can be used to investigate the effect of discretization on any equation that should be conserved in the correct solution, and the application is not limited to water turbines. Computations made for two Kaplan water turbine runners and a simplified geometry of one of the Kaplan runner ducts are investigated to highlight the general and simple applicability of the method.

In this study, a reciprocating-type water turbine model that applies the principle of the Weis-Fogh mechanism was proposed, and the model's unsteady flow field was calculated by an advanced vortex method. The primary conditions were as follows: wing chord C=1, wing shaft stroke length hs=2.5C, and the maximum opening angle of the wing α=36 deg. The dynamic characteristics and unsteady flow fields of a Weis-Fogh type water turbine were investigated with velocity ratios U/V = 1.0 ∼ 3.0. Force coefficients Cu and Cv acting on the wing in the U and V directions, respectively, were found to have a strong correlation each other. The size of a separated region on the back face of the wing increased as the velocity ratio increased and as the wing approached the opposite wall. The rapid drop in Cv during a stroke increased as the velocity ratio increased, and the average Cu and Cv increased as the velocity ratio increased. The maximum efficiency of this water turbine was 14.1% at U/V = 2.0 for one wing.

<em>The need for electricity in Indonesia is very important considering the limited resources and the lack of manpower, making Indonesia desperately need to increase electricity generation. One source of energy that can be converted into electrical energy is tidal barrage using the tidal barrage method. The application of this energy is still very small in Indonesia but there are a number of areas that have the potential to be implemented by the power plant. Tidal power plants that utilize the potential energy contained in the differences in tides and tides of sea water by trapping water in dams and then moving water turbines and when the water turbine is connected to a generator can produce electrical energy. Related to how the output of the generated power can it is known by looking at what height the water level drives the turbine. This type of power plant is environmentally friendly because it does not damage the natural ecosystem and the dam can be used for various activities.</em><em></em>

The steady increase in the capacity of generating sets created a demand for the high specific-speed turbine which was met by several experimenters. “Specific speed” is the speed at which a turbine will run under unit head when developing unit power, and nowadays a “high specific-speed” water turbine denotes one having a runner of the propeller type and a specific speed between 100 and 230 r.p.m. Difficulties were encountered in the development of propeller turbines, especially in connexion with cavitation. Laboratory tests and the use of visual study methods have played an important part in the solution of these difficulties. The method of fixing suction head in conjunction with laboratory test results is explained, and a comparison is made between the various forms of suction tube in use. Much work has been done to overcome the effects of localized cavitation, and stainless steel has been found to be very effective, especially when runners are cast entirely of that material. A method of operation has been developed to dispense with the use of inlet sluice gates in large machines. Several methods in use for operating the movable runner blades are described. The introduction of the high specific-speed turbine has led to a large increase in the number of automatic stations. The great size attained by these turbines has entailed the construction of equally large generators, the development of which has had its own problems.

The precision with which the thermodynamic properties of compressed water and steam are known has led, not unnaturally, to the development of equations of state suitable only for use on electronic digital computers. The equations are in the main empirical although some are highly sophisticated and lead to lengthy programs and complex sub-routines. Among such equations are those of the 1966 and 1967 Formulations of the Thermo-dynamic Properties of Ordinary Water Substance prepared by the International Formulation Committee of the International Steam Conference. The favoured form of equation has been one in which the dependent variables are enthalpy, volume and entropy and the independent variables pressure and temperature. However, this form of equation may not prove to be always the most suitable and the purpose of this paper is to describe how another type of equation, in which the dependent variable is enthalpy and the independent variables are pressure and entropy, may be established and applied. It is believed that this particular type of equation, relating as it does the three most important parameters in pump and turbine performance, has special qualities for design and efficiency calculations. By way of example the efficiency of a water turbine is evaluated according to the ‘thermodynamic method’ described by Thom (2). A concluding section outlines the further steps being taken by the authors to provide a similar type of equation over ranges of pressure and temperature up to 1000 bar and 1000°C.
