10. ASSIUI Draw a simple figure of Pelton Wheel Turbine Identifying its distinct features. 4 A Pelton Wheel operates in High head, Low flow condition. What will happen if you use Pelton Wheel for low water head applications? 3 How was the required head for Pelton Wheel generated during the experiment? 44 Write down the Advantages and Disadvantages of Pelton Wheel over other types of impulse turbine. 5 What is the function of a casing in a Pelton Wheel? 6+he rotational speed of a Pelton Wheel's Runner is 500 rpm, diameter of the runner is 2.5 m. The speed of water jet impinging on the buckets is 40 m/s. How much power has been extracted from water? What would be your answer if you increase the water jet speed around 3.27 times? 7+ Calculate the efficiency of the generator in this particular experiment for all the observations you have taken. In order to get the maximum generator efficiency, at what flowrate water should be supplied to the turbine? Suppose you are the "Chief Engineer, Turbine Operation and Maintenance" of a Hydro-electric powerplant which supplies electricity demand on Peak Hours (i.e. 8 pm to 12 am) only. Your Powerplant uses a Pelton Wheel as the prime mover of the generators. The Average load expectancy on the plant is around 50 MW. On a cold winter night, the load on the plant suddenly reduced to 25 MW. What would you do as an on-duty engineer to synchronize the generators to the new reduced demand? Describe the flow control and stopping (or braking) mechanism of Pelton Wheel. Appropriate figures are preferred. 10 Write short notes on the main elements (or components) of a Hydro-electric Power Plant run by Pelton Wheel. (Layout was shown in Fig. 5). pupers iy needed) 66
