Francis and Kaplan both the turbines come under category of reaction turbine i.e. both kinetic and pressure energy require for the power generation. In both the cases hydraulic energy of water gets converted into useful power output so these are also known as hydraulic turbine. Francis turbine is old turbine. The invention of Kaplan turbine …
Francis turbine is a type of hydraulic turbine which is used to convert hydraulic energy of water into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is further used for different purpose like electricity generation. Francis turbine is a type of reaction turbine i.e. here pressure is not remain same throughout the turbine. Francis turbine is named on …

As we all know about the turbine. They have vast application and can be classified in different ways. According to water flowing through the turbine runners, turbines are classified in two categories i.e. impulse turbines and reaction turbines. Pelton wheel turbine is the type of impulse turbine but here we talk about only reaction turbine. …
