Question: The following data was obtained during an experiment on a Pelton wheel (effective radius 2) fitted to 2 diameter outlet pipe: Position of flow valve
The following data was obtained during an experiment on a Pelton wheel (effective radius 2") fitted to 2" diameter outlet pipe: Position of flow valve at 12 psi, measured turbine speed was at 1400 rpm, pump speed at 2400 rpm, torque at 16 inch-Oz and measured capacity was 6.5 cfm. Assume the liquid is water. (a) Calculate the gear pump's efficiency, Speed ratio (b) (i. Define Speed ratio and (ii. PLOT the curve for speed ratio vs power and explain the significant points with reasoning
