A Pelton wheel has a mean bucket speed (U) of 89 m/s with a jet of water flowing at the rate of 1 m3/s under a head of 270 m. The buckets deflect the jet through an angle of 170º. Calculate the power delivered to the runner and hydraulic efficiency of the turbine. Take Cv = 0.98 , V= Cv root of 2gH , workdone per second by the jet on the runner = ρaV1 (Vw1 + Vw2) x U and Hydraulic efficiency ηh = 2 U (Vw1 + Vw2)/V12

In Fig.2, A Pelton wheel has a mean bucket speed (U) of 89 m/s with a jet of water flowing at the rate of 1 m3/s under a head of 270 m. The buckets deflect the jet through an angle of 170º. Calculate the power delivered to the runner and hydraulic efficiency of the turbine. Take Cv = 0.98 , V= Cv root of 2gH , workdone per second by the jet on the runner = ρaV1 (Vw1 + Vw2) x U and Hydraulic efficiency ηh = 2 U (Vw1 + Vw2)/V12
