11. A Pelton wheel is driven by two similar jets transmits 3750 KW to the shaft running at 375 rpm. The total
head available is 200 m. and losses are 0.1 times of the total head. The diameter of the wheel is 1.45 m., the
∘
relative co – efficient of velocity is 0.9 and the deflection of jet is 165 . If the mechanical efficiency is 90%,
then determine
i. The hydraulic efficiency
ii. The overall efficiency
iii. Diameter of the jet
