Pelton turbine (or Pelton wheel) is among the most efficient impulse turbines and has retained its existence in … analysis of Pelton turbines due to the nature of the flow which is much more complex than in the reaction turbines. The recent … up to a level suitable for industrial applications in development of Pelton turbines. Current published research in the …

turbine, similar to the Pelton wheel, often used in pico-hydro systems. Both offer high efficiency for a broad range of site … of Pelton wheels. In this study, a laboratory-scale test fixture was constructed to test the operating performance … and jet misalignment on two Turgo turbines. The results were compared to similar tests in the same fixture on a Pelton …

In the present study, an experiment was carried out to investigate the mechanism of erosion of a small scale Pelton … mechanism of silt erosion on Pelton turbine buckets for different silt sizes. In the first part of the experimentation, hot …
