A water turbine rotates at 240 rev min−1. The water enters the rotating impeller at a radius of 1.2 m with an absolute mean velocity which has a tangential component of 2.3 m s−1 in the direction of motion and leaves with a tangential component of 0.2 m s−1 at a radius of 1.6 m. If the volume rate of flow through the turbine is 10 m3 s−1, calculate the torque exerted and the theoretical power output.
