3. For a Pelton turbine the pressure of the flow before the nozzle is 5 bar while
the velocity of flow leaving the nozzle is 31m/s. If the speed of the turbine is
500 rpm and the wheel diameter is 1.5 m, the efficiency of the nozzle will be:
а. 0.96
b. 0.97
с. 0.98
d. 0.99
e. None of the them.
A turbine develops 144 HP running at 100 rpm under a head of 7.7 meters.
At what speed, in RPM, should the turbine run under a head of 11
meters?
90
176
247
346
120
A Pelton wheel operates with an effective head of 310 m producing 15 MW of power.
The overall efficiency of the turbine is n = 0.84, the velocity coefficient of the nozzle
is CN = 0.98, and the velocity coefficient of the rotor is c, = 0.85. The angle of
the relative velocity leaving the rotor is B3 = -73°. The wheel rotates at 500 rpm,
and the ratio of the blade speed to nozzle velocity is 0.46. (a) Give a recommended
number of jets to which the supply flow should be split and the number of blades
on the wheel. (b) Find the mechanical and volumetric efficiencies given the value of
Ku = 0.05. (c) Find also the optimum speed ratio.
