Some Aspects of Performance Improvement of Pelton Wheel Turbine with Reengineered Blade and Auxiliary Attachments
نویسنده
چکیده
Pelton wheel is the only hydraulic turbine of the impulse type in common use, is named after an American engineer Laster A Pelton, who contributed much to its development around the year 1880. Therefore this machine is known as Pelton turbine or Pelton wheel. It is an efficient machine particularly suited to high heads, many modifications is being suggested up to now the major modification was near 1903 after that no major modification is being implemented. The author in this paper with his noble and native concept tried to increase the efficiency of the turbine with the modification in the blade and with some auxiliary attachments which will lead to less wastage of the head and result in better efficiency.

Dynamic response of a shaft of a Pelton turbine due to impact of water jet
Performance and reliability of any rotating machine can be studied by proper dynamic analysis of the machine. In this regard, this paper presents the method to study the dynamic response of the shaft of a Pelton turbine due to the impact of water jet. Equations of motion for the bending vibration of Pelton turbine assembly, in two transverse directions, is developed by using Lagrange equation o...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Pelton Wheel Bucket
ABSTRACT Pelton turbines are hydraulic turbines which are widely used for large scale power generation. A micro hydelpelton turbine is miniature model of actual pelton turbine which can be used for small scale power generation. This type of turbines converts potential energy of water at height into kinetic energy by allowing the water to fall freely on the pelton runner. This water impact provi...

متن کاملOptimization of turbine blade cooling with the aim of overall turbine performance enhancement
In the current work, different methods for optimization of turbine blade internal cooling are investigated, to achieve higher cyclic efficiency and output power for a typical gas turbine. A simple two-dimensional model of C3X blade is simulated and validated with available experimental data. The optimization process is performed on this model with two different methods. The first method is ...
