282 Centrifugal Pumps: Design and Application

Current inquiries show that there is a significant potential for hydraulic
turbines during the eighties and surely beyond. Indications are that sizes
much larger than those currently in use will be needed. Also, the types in
demand will include the adjustable guide vane nozzles, diagonal flow
types, vertical types, and possibly the combination turbomachine with
the turbine and pump unit in the same case,
