I don't know, please help me.

As we know the specific speed of the turbine is given by;

N = N * Root P divided by H to the power 5/4.

So here we can get.

N = 135 * Root of 10000 Divided by 25 to the power 5/4.

N = 241.495 rpm => ANSWER.

The thing to note here is that the power is entered in Kw and not in watts.

Couldn't find the answer.

And explain how the unit will be in rpm?

N = 135 * Root of 10000 Divided by 25 to the power 5/4.
135*100/47.59
N=283.67.

The specific speed =N""p / H^5/4.
(speed*under root power ) divided by Head to the power of 5/4,
so (135*""10000) / 25^5/4,
= 241.49~241.5.
