Title: Pelton wheel Objectives: 1. To familiarize with the working principle of Pelton Wheel. 2. To determine the characteristics of Pelton Wheel. 3. To determine the optimum efficiency point. Introduction: The pelton wheel is a very efficient impulse turbine invented by Lester Allan Pelton. The water jet shot the turbine blade and the forces are divided into two symmetrical parts. Unlike other turbine blade Pelton’s paddle geometry was designed so that when the rim runs at ½ the speed

A Pelton wheel‚ also called a Pelton turbine‚ is one of the most efficient types of water turbines. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton (1829-1908) in the 1870s‚ and is an impulse machine‚ meaning that it uses Newton’s second law to extract energy from a jet of fluid.

Introduction: An outdoor drier is where your cloths are dried outside among the sun’s rays and the fresh air. Money and energy can be saved by drying your cloths outdoor. These outdoor dryers are very hand full and they range from light to heavy-duty material. Some of the outdoor dryer have much more ability than the others to handle a lot of wet clothing‚ while others cannot handle a large number of cloths. The outdoor drier which has been designed‚ it is more like an umbrella cloths drier

The Invention of the Wheel The invention of the wheel is the single most important invention in the world. The wheel did not only shape our world in transportation but it helped evolve many inventions. The wheel is estimated to have been invented in 3500 B.C. (Reynolds). There have been many changes to the wheel that have made it a more advanced invention and changed into newer inventions. The wheel has shaped our world geographically‚ economically‚ and culturally. The evolution of transportation

Theory: Release Energy Method Ød or radius r After descent m kg I kg.m2 h v m/sec ØD or radius R Figure 1. Energy in a rolling wheel Referring to Figure 1 when the wheel is released from rest and subsequently rolls down the slope‚ it accelerates and hence gains energy. Now for a rolling wheel the kinetic energy has two components‚ translational due

The Pelton wheel is a water impulse turbine. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s. The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water‚ as opposed to its weight like traditional overshot water wheel. Although many variations of impulse turbines existed prior to Pelton ’s design‚ they were less efficient than Pelton ’s design; the water leaving these wheels typically still had high speed‚ and carried away much of the energy. Pelton ’s paddle geometry was designed so that
