An inward flow reaction turbine, having an outer diameter of 1 m, runs at 600 RPM. The normal component of absolute velocity at the inlet is 10 m/s. If the guide blade angle is 15°, then the inlet vane angle of the runne...
An idealized centrifugal pump (blade outer radius of 50 mm) consumes 2 kW power while running at 3000 rpm. The entry of the liquid into the pump is axial and exit from the pump is radial with respect to impeller. If the...
For a Pelton wheel with a given water jet velocity, the maximum output power from the Pelton wheel is obtained when the ratio of the bucket speed to the water jet speed is ____________ (correct to two decimal places).
