Question:
The jet of water coming out of nozzle strikes the buckets of a Pelton wheel which when stationary would deflect the jet through 165°. The velocity of water at exit is 0·9 times at the inlet and the bucket speed is 0·45 times the jet speed. If the speed of the Pelton wheel is 300 r.p.m. and the effective head is 150 m, determine:
(i) Hydraulic efficiency, and
(ii) Diameter of the Pelton wheel.
Take co-efficient of velocity, Cv = 0.98
