A Pelton wheel with an efficiency of 85% is used to produce hydroelectric power from flow of water behind a dam with an elevation head of 420 m. The average radius of the wheel and its angular velocity are 2.0 m and 220 rpm, respectively. This turbine works at its optimum rotation rate (which produces maximum power). The turning angle of the buckets is ? = 165° and nozzle diameter is given as 8.00 cm. a. Calculate volumetric flow rate...

(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...
