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:

  1. The flow rate through the turbine. ANS: +/- 4.712 m3/s
  1. The nozzle velocity coefficient.   ANS: +/- 0.969
  1. The bucket outlet angle.   ANS: +/- 29.115˚

1) A nozzle is a device for increasing the velocity of a steadily flowing stream of fluid. At the inlet to a certain nozzle the enthalpy of the fluid is 3025 kJ/kg and the velocity is 60 m/s. At the exit from the nozzle the enthalpy is 2790 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal and there is negligible heat loss from it. (i) Find the velocity at the nozzle exit. (ii) If the inlet area is 0.1 m2 and specific volume...
