A Pelton wheel develops 70 kW under a head of 60 m of
water. It rotates 400 rpm. Overall efficiency is 80%. Find
the discharge rate in m³/s. Use the equation below, where
P is power of the turbine shaft and no is the overall
efficiency, where specific weight of water is is 9.80 kN/m³
no

A generator is driven by a small, single-jet Pelton turbine
designed to have a power specific speed sp 0.20. The
effective head at nozzle inlet is 200 m and the nozzle
velocity coefficient is 0.985. The runner rotates at 880
rev/min, The turbine overall efficiency is 80%. Find (a) the
power delivered by the shaft of the turbine and (b) find the
power delivered by the water to the turbine. where density
