QUESTION 3 (a) Water at 27.58 bar is available to operate a turbine at 1750 rpm . What type of turbine would you suggest to use if the turbine should have an output of approximately 149) WV? 8 MARKS (b) Water for a Pelton wheel turbine flows from the head- water and through the penstock as shown in Figure 5. The effective friction factor for the penstock, control valves, and the like is 0.032 and the diameter of the jet is 0.20 m . Determine its (i) maximum power output, and (ii) maximum possible hydraulic efficiency. Figure 5 A Pelton wheel turbine 17 MARKS
