PREFACE

Project work has an important position in the syllabus of diploma

course in engineering .By doing this project work we get a chance to
apply the knowledge in the theory to practical applications by doing this
various types of equipments developed under project work will not only
enhance our skill but also aid for the development of the student .The
projected selected by us is RENOVATION OF PELTON WHEEL.

ABSTRACT

There are two types of turbines, reaction and the impulse, the difference being the
manner of head conversion. In the reaction turbine, the fluid fills the blade passages, and the
head change or pressure drop occurs within the runner. An impulse turbine first converts the
water head through a nozzle into a high-velocity jet, which then strikes the buckets at one
position as they pass by. The runner passages are not fully filled, and the jet flow past the
buckets is essentially at constant pressure. Impulse turbines are ideally suited for high head
and relatively low power. The Pelton turbine used in this experiment is an impulse turbine.

Pelton Wheel turbine is an impulse type of hydraulic turbine. The

total drop in pressure of the fluid takes place in stationary nozzles. A
proportion of the kinetic energy of a high velocity jet is converted into
mechanical work delivered to the shaft, the remainder being dissipated by
fluid friction and partly retained as kinetic energy of fluid leaving the cups.
The fluid transfers its momentum to buckets mounted on the
circumference of a wheel. Pelton Wheel or impulse type hydraulic turbine
is used in hydroelectric scheme when the head available exceeds about
300m. The turbine is supplied with water under high head through a long
conduit called penstock. The water is then accelerated through a nozzle
and discharge at high-speed free jet at atmospheric pressure ,which then
impinges the cascade of Impulse-buckets.
