    Experiment No : 10

    To determine the characteristics of a Pelton Wheel


    Objectives :
    ( a ) To get familiar with the working of pelton wheel.
    ( b ) to determine certain characteristics of pelton wheel.

    Theory Background :
    Pelton Wheel or turbine :
    The Pelton wheel or turbine patented by Pelton in 1889.
    It is an impulse turbine.
    It is an axial flow turbine.
    It works under high head and low specific speed.

    Working :

    The most commonly used impulse turbine is the Pelton wheel. The Pelton wheel turbine consists
    of a wheel like runner (rotor) with spoon
    shaped buckets around the circumference
    of the wheel. Water from a high level is
    discharged through a stationary nozzle
    (or nozzles) and emerges as a high speed
    jet. The initial potential (or gravitational)
    energy of the water is thus converted into
    kinetic (or motion) energy of the jet .
    The water jet is directed at the buckets,
    and its impulse causes the runner to rotate
    about its axis (or shaft). The buckets have
    a central ridge which improves the operation by splitting the jet into two streams. The speed of
    the turbine can be changed by varying the
    size of the water jet.

    Run away speed :


    run away speed of a turbine is the speed of turbine when the load is zero.

    Tachometer :

    it is a device to find the number of revolutions per minute.

    Experimental Procedure :
    first of all place the pelton wheel apparatus on the hydraulic bench.
    Connect the inlet of the pelton wheel to the sump supply and place the
    apparatus in such a way that the discharged water from the pelton wheel discharges into
    volumetric tank.
    Now assume that the penstock is so large that its velocity is so small so we neglect the
    term

    2g

    Now there is a gauge attached to the inlet of the pelton wheel apparatus this gauge gives
    us the value of h. so
    Velocity coming out of the nozzle = C v = ( 2gh)
    1 kg /cm2 = 10m of water
    Now calculate the torque produced by the formula

    (T 1 T 2 ) ( radius of pulley ) = Torque produced


    contact dia of pulley = 61mm
    so
    0.061
    Torque produced = ( T 1 T 2 )(
    ) N m
    2
    Torque produced = ( T 1 T 2 )(0.0305) N m

    Dynamo-meter :
    it is a device used to measure the shaft power.
    It consists of Spring balances+belt and pulley+Tachometer
    now the angular velocity can be find out by the formula

    = 2

    N
    60

    Note : the input power of the pelton whee always remains the same. The input power changes
    only when we change the discharge through the jet.

    Input power = Q g h
    we can get overall efficiency rather than absolute efficiency because there are bearing
    that reduces the efficiency.
