A Pelton wheel works under a gross head of 450 m. It is estimated that 20% of head is lost in overcoming the friction in penstock. The jet discharge issued by the nozzles is 2 m/s. The buckets have the angle of deflection of 165°. Assuming coefficient of velocity as 0.97, find : (i) Power given by water to runner. (ii) Hydraulic efficiency of the runner. Assume, speed ratio as 0.45.

A Pelton wheel works under a gross head of 450 m. It is estimated that 20% of head is lost in overcoming the friction in penstock. The jet discharge issued by the nozzles is 2 m°/s. The buckets have the angle of deflection of 165°. Assuming coefficient of velocity as 0.97, find: (i) Power given by water to runner. (ii) Hydraulic efficiency of the runner. Assume, speed ratio as 0.45.
