In Pelton turbine inlet velocity of jet is 85.83m/s, inlet and outlet whirl velocities be 85.83 and 0.143 and blade velocity be 38.62 then its hydraulic efficiency is ___________

Correct Answer: 90.14%
Substitute the above given values in expression for hydraulic efficiency which is given by expression 2 u/V1*V1 and we get it as 90.14%.

In a single row impulse turbine, the absolute velocity of steam leaving the turbine is 900 m/s. The nozzle angel is 20°. The mean blade speed is 300 m/s. The inlet blade angle is equal to the outlet blade angle. Determine the angle made by the discharging steam with the tangent of the wheel at the exit of moving blade. Neglect friction on turbine blades.

In Pelton wheel, if outlet velocity angle of jet is “acute angled” then outlet whirl velocity of jet is ______________

In Pelton wheel, if outlet velocity angle of jet is “obtuseangled” then outlet whirl velocity of jet is _____________

In Pelton wheel, if outlet velocity angle of jet is “right angled” then outlet whirl velocity of jet is __________

To obtain maximum hydraulic efficiency of pelton turbine, blade velocity should be ___________ Times the inlet velocity of jet.

A simple impulse turbine has a mean blade speed of 250 m/s. The nozzle angle is 20° and the steam velocity from the nozzle is 600 m/s. The turbine uses 3000 kg/h of steam. The blade outlet angle is 25°. Determine the amount of energy converted to heat by blade friction if the blade friction factor is 0.86.

The desired hydraulic efficiency of a turbine is 80% at a whirl velocity of 20 m/s and a head of 100 m. What should be the blade velocity of the turbine at inlet in m/s?

The desired hydraulic efficiency of a Kaplan turbine is 98% at a whirl velocity of 20 m/s and a head of 60 m. What should be the blade velocity of the turbine at inlet in m/s? Take g = 10 m/s2.

For a Kaplan turbine, the whirl velocity at inlet of the turbine is given to be 18 m/s. The blade velocity is given as 25 m/s. What is the hydraulic efficiency for a head of 50 m. Take g = 10 m/s2?

The relative velocity of water at the inlet of the Kaplan turbine is 7 m/s. β1 = 75o. The whirl velocity of the water at inlet is 10 m/s. Find the blade velocity of the turbine?
