A Pelton wheel develops 1750 kW under a head of 100 metres while running at 200 r.p.m. and discharging 2500 litres of water per second. The unit speed of the wheel is
The depth of the bucket for a Pelton wheel is generally __________ the diameter of jet.
An impulse turbine is used for
The efficiency of jet propulsion for a ship with inlet orifices at right angles to the direction of motion of ship, will be maximum when the relative velocity of the jet and ship is equal to twice the velocity of the ship.
The cavitation in reaction turbines is avoided, to a great extent by
Which type of the pump is different from others in the same group?
The power developed by a turbine is (where H = Head of water under which the turbine is working)
