Concept: Pelton wheel: It is a tangential flow impulse turbine in which the pressure energy of water is converted into kinetic energy to form a high-speed water jet and this jet strikes the wheel tangentially to make it rotate.
Taygun's formula: It is used to determine the number of buckets on the runner in the Pelton wheel turbine. It is given by the below formula: Z=15+
D
2d
Where D = Pitch or mean diameter, d = Nozzle or Jet diameter Calculation: Given, D = 1 m, d = 0.1 m The number of buckets on the runner by Taygun's formula Z=15+
