Question: table [ [ 1 , A Pelton wheel turbine with single jet runs a t 3 0 0 r p m under a head

\table[[1, A Pelton wheel turbine with single jet runs at300rpm under a head of510m. The jet diameter is200mm, its
deflection inside the bucket is165 and its relative velocity is reduced by15% due to friction. Determine: (i)
Water-power, (ii) Resultant force on the bucket, (iii) Brake power (power produced at the shaft) and (iv) Overall
efficiency. Take: Mechanical losses =3%,Co-efficient of velocity =0.98, and Speed ratio =0.46. Correct
representation through a velocity diagram is mandatory.
