- Calculate the flow rate, jet velocity, and the reaction force for each deflection angle. Plot this theoretical reaction forceagainst jet velocity.2. For each deflection angle, plot the actual balancing weight against the theoretical reaction force; does theplot suggest a 45° linear relation?arrow_forwardAs discussed in class, rotor wheel turbines are commonly used in hydroelectric power plants to generate electric power. In the Pelton wheel design below with radius r = 2 m, a high speed water jet (with Vj = 50 m/s and flow rate 10 m3 /s) impinges on buckets making an angle β=160 degrees, forcing the wheel to rotate at constant angular speed ω = 150 revolutions per minute. Calculate the power delivered to the rotor if there are 10 jets as described above surrounding the Pelon wheel.arrow_forwardA blower supplies standard air to a plenum that feeds twohorizontal square sheet-metal ducts with sharp-edged entrances.One duct is 100 ft long, with a cross-section 6 in by6 in.
