Abstract

Francis turbines are the widely used turbines now-a-days. They are operated at medium heads and are the most used turbine for power generation. The power generation is mainly due to the pressure on the walls of the runner blades and in the draft tube. The parameters of the runner and the draft tube mainly influences the performance of the Francis turbine. Here the various optimization techniques and various parameters used for optimization on the runner and the draft tubes used by the researchers so for are discussed.
