Question

A Pelton wheel is receiving water from a penstock with a gross head of 510 m. One third of gross head is lost in friction in the penstock. The rate of flow through the nozzle fitted at the end of the penstock is 2.2 m$^3$/s. The angle of deflection of the jet is 165$^\circ$. Determine: (i) The power given by the water to the runner (ii) Hydraulic efficiency of the Pelton wheel. Take $C_v = 1.00$, $k_u = 0.45$

          A Pelton wheel is receiving water from a penstock with a gross head of 510 m.
One third of gross head is lost in friction in the penstock. The rate of flow
through the nozzle fitted at the end of the penstock is 2.2 m$^3$/s. The angle of
deflection of the jet is 165$^\circ$. Determine:
(i) The power given by the water to the runner
(ii) Hydraulic efficiency of the Pelton wheel.
Take $C_v = 1.00$, $k_u = 0.45$
