    Turbine Power= HP    
    Generator Power= KW    
    Ns Specfic speed= FROM K FACTOR    
    Rotational speed= RPM    
    Number of poles= MUST BE INTERGER DIVISIBLE BY 2 Adjust K factor  
    Velocity ratio= FRANCIS    
    Velocity ratio = KAPLAN OR PROP  
    Runner Diameter= INCHES - FRANCIS  
    Runner Diameter= INCHES - KAPLAN OR PROP  
    To use: Enter Data, inputing head and flow to reach desired power output, then use trial K factor for type of turbine desired, then adjust K factor until number of poles is divisble by 2 (preferably by 4) to yield a synchronous speed at 60 HZ, while specific speed and head falls within table values given below. Generally, a slower ROTATIONAL speed is desired.  
     
      Specific Speed Range Head Range (ft)   No. of Poles Sync. Speed at 60 HZ
    Kaplan 70 to 225 10 to 130  
    Propeller 70 to 225 10 to 250  
    Francis 15 to 85 50 to 850
