Question:

Consider an idealized bucket on an impulse turbine that turns the water through 180°. Prove that the bucket speed should be one-half the incoming jet speed for a maximum power production. Set up the momentum equation to solve for the force on the bucket in terms of Vj and Vbucket; then the power will be given by this force times Vbucket.
