A Pelton turbine is driven by two jets, generating 5.0 MW at 80 rev/min. The effective head at the nozzles is 300 m of water and the nozzle velocity coefficient, KN = 0.97. The axes of the jets are tangent to a circle 2 m in diameter. The relative velocity of the flow across the buckets is decreased by 17% and the water is deflected through an angle of 165 deg. Neglecting bearing and windage losses, determine: (i) the runner efficiency; (ii) the diameter of each jet; (iii) the power specific speed.
