Correct Answer

A. B) Jet ratio

Explanation

Answer: b
Explanation: The ratio of pitch diameter of Pelton wheel to diameter of jet is known as jet ratio.

Rate this question:
5.

Find the pitch diameter of runner D, if jet ratio m and diameter of jet d are given as 10 and 125mm.
- A) 1.25 meters
- B) 1.5 meters
- C) 2 meters
- D) 1.2 meters
Correct Answer

A. A) 1.25 meters

Explanation

Answer: a
Explanation: Expression for jet ratio is m=D/d which is 10*0.125= 1.25 meters.

Rate this question:
6.

6. The number of buckets of Pelton wheel is 25 and diameter of runner is 1.5meters then calculate diameter of jet is ___________
- A) 80mm
- B) 75mm
- C) 90mm
- D) 82mm
Correct Answer

A. B) 75mm

Explanation

Answer: b
Explanation: The expression for measuring number of buckets is 15 + diameter of runner/2 times diameter of jet by using this expression we get diameter of jet as 75mm.

Rate this question:
7.

In most of cases the value of jet ratio is _______________
- A) 10
- B) 11
- C) 12
- D) 13
Correct Answer

A. C) 12

Explanation

Answer: c
Explanation: Jet ratio is 12 because in most of Pelton turbines diameter of runner is 12 times the diameter of jet.

Rate this question:
8.

Number of buckets on runner of Pelton wheel is given by expression? (D-diameter of runner and d- diameter of jet)
- A) 15 + D/2d
- B) 15 + 3D/2d
- C) 15 + D/d
- D) 15 + 2D/d
Correct Answer

A. A) 15 + D/2d

Explanation

Answer: a
Explanation: To obtain Pelton wheel of higher efficiency, number of buckets is specified as 15 + D/2d by considering several experimental observations.

Rate this question:
9.

____________ is obtained by dividing total rate of flow through the turbine by rate of flow through single jet.
- A) Number of jets
- B) Diameter of jets
- C) Velocity of jets
- D) Speed ratio
Correct Answer

A. A) Number of jets

Explanation

Answer: a
Explanation: Total discharge is sum of individual discharges hence, by dividing total rate of flow through the turbine by rate of flow through single jet we get number of jets.

Rate this question:
10.

If diameter of jet is 85mm and diameter of runner is 1.5 meter then calculate width of buckets.
- A) 400mm
- B) 500mm
- C) 420mm
- D) 425mm
Correct Answer

A. D) 425mm

Explanation

Answer: d
Explanation: The expression for measuring width of buckets is 5*diameter of jet, which is 5*85=425mm.

Rate this question:
11.

- D) 102mm
Correct Answer

A. D) 102mm

Explanation

Answer: d
Explanation: The expression for measuring depth of buckets is 1.2*diameter of jet, which is 1.2*85=102mm.

Rate this question:
12.
