[:iiiif,'iurui 23"2 A Peiton wheel clriven by two similar jets transmits 3750 kW to the shalt when

running at 375 iev rnin-]. The heah from the reservoir level to the nozzlcs is 200nr and
the efficiency of power transmission through the pipelines and nozzles is 90 per cenl
The jets are tangential to a 1.45m diameter circle, The relative velocit,l' rlecreases L)i
