A Pelton wheel has to develop 18000 B.H.P under a net head of 800 m, while running at a speed of 600 rpm. If the coefficient of the jet=0.97, speed ratio= 0.46 and the ratio of the jet diameter is 1/15 of wheel diameter, assume overall efficiency as 85%. calculate the quantity of water supplied to the wheel.

Question
A Pelton wheel has to develop 18000
B.H.P under a net head of 800 m,
while running at a speed of 600 rpm.
If the coefficient of the jet=0.97,
speed ratio= 0.46 and the ratio of
the jet diameter is 1/15 of wheel
diameter, assume overall efficiency
as 85%. calculate the quantity of
water supplied to the wheel.
