  1. At a site the head available is 315 m and the maximum power potential is 35 MW. If the dimensionless specific speed is to be in the range 0.015 to 0.02 determine the number of units required and the power of each unit. If the overall efficiency is expected to be 85%, determine the flow rate. If Cv = 0.97 and φ=0.46, determine the speed if the wheel diameter is 10 times the jet diameter.

edit: impulse turbine (pelton turbine)


im not sure also, maybe no. of wheel? or can you pls solve both no. of wheel and no. of jet please?

    (1) Hydraulic turbines convert the potential energy of water into shaft work, which, in turn, rotates the electric generator coupled to it in producing electric power. Pelton turbine named after Lester Allen Pelton of the USA, an impulse turbine used for high head and low discharge. In an impulse turbine all the available head of water is converted into kinetic energy in a nozzle. The water shoots out of the nozzle in a free jet into a bucket which revolves...
