<br/><br/> This study focused on the design and development of an Impulse Turgo Turbine Training<br/>Unit to provide the mechanical engineering students at the Technological University of the<br/>Philippines – Manila a practical experience in turbine and fluid mechanics. The primary objective<br/>of the study was to create a compact, educational tool (Dimensions: 1m × 0.75 m × 1.5 m) capable<br/>of generating a minimum of 20 watts of powers, including 20 turbine buckets and a blade runner<br/>diameter of 180 mm. The study underwent the conceptualization, fabrication, and the execution of<br/>five distinct experiments to assess efficiency, rotational speed, and the impact of varying flow rates<br/>and head on power output. Using a combination of theoretical analysis, experimental testing, and<br/>performance evaluation, the results confirmed the unit’s capability to conduct the five experiments<br/>surpassing the minimum power generation target under evaluated optimal conditions. Key<br/>components, including the turbine, water pump, and control panel, were successfully incorporated<br/>to meet educational objectives. Laboratory and user manuals were created to guide the instructors<br/>and students during the operation of the machine. The study concludes that the developed training<br/>unit provides a reliable, hands-on tool to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application in<br/>hydropower technology, enhancing the student’s understanding of hydroelectric power concepts.
