When my teacher was explaining about impulse-reaction inward
Radial flow (Francis) turbine, he said that as the water moves from inlet to outlet tip of the blade, pressure energy of the water is used to do work and pressure reduces(reaction effect).Then he added that due to this decrease in pressure,relative velocity between blade and water increases as water moves towards outlet.If this(pressure decreases velocity increases) comes from the Bernoulis equation then there should not be any addition or subtraction of energy from the fluid.But a turbine extracts energy from the fuid.So is this explanation wrong?
Please suggest a good book for studying the basics of hydraulic machines.
