This study describes the analysis of the effect of using a dual nozzle toward the Cross flow turbine performance. The dual nozzle used is mounted on a horizontal and a vertical position, round-shaped cross-section and serves to direct water jets entering the turbine runner blades and convert the water potential energy. The purpose of this study is to test the Cross flow turbine performance increase with a dual nozzle as a hydropower generation by varying the load on the turbine shaft. The research method is by doing a test to find out the dual nozzle Cross flow turbine performance in the laboratory and finally analyze it empirically. From the test data result and from the data analysis it is found that the Cross flow turbine with a dual nozzle could have an optimal efficiency and a better performance. © 2006-2018 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
