A simple impulse type of turbomachine, namely Pelton water wheel shown in figure (a), wherein
a single jet of water issues out of a nozzle and impinges on the system of buckets attached to a

 20 liter/s . The runner, which is the assembly of
wheel, with a velocity of V 20 m/s and debit Q
buckets and wheel, has a radius of R = 75 cm to the center of the buckets. The shape of the
buckets is also shown in figure (b), where a horizontal midsection of the buckets has been shown.
Note that the jet is split into two parts by the buckets and is rotated almost 180o relative to the
buckets in the horizontal plane ( = 60o). If we neglect gravity and friction, the speed of the water
relative to the bucket is unchanged during the action, and the runner is loaded by a generator to
rotate at a constant angular rotation of 1000 rpm, so:

Find the torque and power produced by the turbine when:

a). Calculated using the linear momentum equation
b). Calculated using the angular momentum.
