In a Pelton-wheel turbine, a stream of water is deflected
Chapter 14, Problem 14.81(choose chapter or problem)
In a Pelton-wheel turbine, a stream of water is deflected by a series of blades so that the rate at which water is deflected by the blades is equal to the rate at which water issues from the nozzle \((\Delta m / \Delta t=\left.A r v_{A}\right)\). Using the same notation as in Sample Prob. 14.7, (a) determine the velocity V of the blades for which maximum power is developed, (b) derive an expression for the maximum power, (c) derive an expression for the mechanical efficiency.
