A small Pelton wheel is used to power an oscillating lawn sprinkler as shown in Video V11.4 and Fig. P11.39. The arithmetic mean radius of the turbine is 1 in., and the exit angle of the blade is 135° relative to the blade motion. Water is supplied through a single 0.20-in.-diameter nozzle at a speed of 50 ft/s. Determine the flowrate, the maximum torque developed, and the maximum power developed by this turbine.
