Tutorial prob#1
A generator is driven by a small, single-jet Pelton turbine designed to have a power specific speed sp=, The effective head at nozzle inlet is 120 m and the nozzle velocity coefficient is 0.985. The runner rotates at 880 rpm , the turbine overall efficiency is 88%, and the mechanical efficiency is 96%. If the blade speed to jet speed ratio, v=0.47, determine: (assume density of water, =103kgm3)
a. the shaft power output of the turbine;
b. the volume flow rate;
c. the ratio of the wheel diameter to jet diameter.
