1 Calculation of Jet Velocity at Inlet

The document describes the design calculations for a Pelton turbine, including determining the jet velocity, tangential velocity, jet diameter, runner diameter, number of buckets, bucket spacing, design speed, deflection angle, and dimensions of the buckets and jets. The turbine is designed to have 4 jets with a diameter of 0.2408m, a runner diameter of 3m with 21 buckets spaced 0.448571 radians apart, operating at a speed of 285.7143 rpm.
