A 3-jet Pelton wheel is to be installed at a high head site with a gross head of 320m and a design flow of 0.85m3 /s. The pipeline length is 2000m and a steel pipe of 700mm diameter is to be used. The roughness value, k, for the pipe is 2.5mm. Take the velocity coefficient for the jets as 1.0. Determine the diameter of the wheel and the shaft mechanical power output in Megawatts at full power if the selected rotational speed, N is 1000rpm.

TURBINE IMPULSE - PELTON WHEEL QUESTION 1: The nozzles of a 4-jet Pelton wheel turbine, each have a diameter of 125 mm and the velocity of each water jet is 96 m/s. The available head at the nozzles is 500 m. The blade velocity is 46% of the jet velocity. The turbine has a hydraulic efficiency of 85% (i.e. nozzles included). The friction across the buckets is 6% from entry to exit. Sketch the vector diagram showing all details. Calculate:...

A high-head hydroelectric scheme consists of a reservoir from which the water is delivered to four Pelton turbines through a low pressure tunnel LT = 10 km long, 4 m in diameter, lined with concrete. The tunnel splits into four steel pipelines (penstocks) 500 m long, 2 m in diameter each terminating in a single nozzle, the area of which is varied by a spear valve. The maximum diameter of each nozzle is 0.9 m. The difference in level between...
