NOVELTY - The assembly (1) has a turbine runner (6) arranged internally towards an end of an inlet connection (2) and positioned between an outboard casing (4) and an inboard casing. The inlet connection and the runner are arranged such that direction of water entering a turbine along a same axis of a turbine shaft (7) is changed to a radial direction by a curved conical member. The water entering into a cavity between runner blades (8) is left out from the runner in a radial direction without being obstructed by the turbine shaft.    USE - Hydro turbine assembly for use in a hydro power plant that is utilized for electrical power generation. Uses include but are not limited to Francis turbine, Kaplan turbine, Pelton turbine, Bariki turbine and Turgo turbine.    ADVANTAGE - The assembly achieves improved water entry and exit features for higher efficiency and better energy conversion characteristic for driving a mechanical equipment and electrical power generation. The assembly can be utilized for wide range applications from low head operation to high head operation as the head has minimum influence on the formation of vortices and cavitations and the water exits in radial direction without any twisting effect, thus reducing the maintenance requirements. The assembly offers an even higher specific energy conversion feature by maximizing the runner utilization and enables operation even at low water heads, as the centrifugal force of the turbine is in the same direction of the water flow to provide a positive impact on the water flow. The assembly can be utilized in a versatile manner while delivering high productivity and achieving efficient operation. The turbine avoids problems of dual phase condition, as the runner is intended to operate in a wet state at all time.
