Conditions at the inlet to the nozzle of a Pelton wheel are (p=700 mathrm{psig}) and (V=15 mathrm{mph}).
Question:
Conditions at the inlet to the nozzle of a Pelton wheel are \(p=700 \mathrm{psig}\) and \(V=15 \mathrm{mph}\). The jet diameter is \(d=7.5 \mathrm{in}\). and the nozzle loss coefficient is \(K_{\text {nozle }}=0.04\). The wheel diameter is \(D=8 \mathrm{ft}\). At this operating condition, \(\eta=0.86\). Calculate
(a) the power output,
(b) the normal operating speed,
(c) the approximate runaway speed,
(d) the torque at normal operating speed,
(e) the approximate torque at zero speed.
