Question:
Consider the Pelton wheel and single-jet arrangement shown, in which the jet stream strikes the bucket tangentially and is turned through angle θ. Obtain an expression for the torque exerted by the water stream on the wheel and the corresponding power output. Show that the power is a maximum when the bucket speed, U =Rω, is half the jet speed, V.
