SUMMARY
The shape of the Pv diagram for an impulse turbine is characterized by a point representation, indicating that during operation, the pressure and specific volume of liquid water remain constant. This conclusion is based on the analysis of hydroelectric power generation systems, specifically focusing on impulse turbines. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the type of turbine being used, as it directly influences the behavior of the Pv diagram.
