Correct Answer : Option (B) : 15-2000 meters
Explanation : Pelton turbine is an impulse turbine only energy available is kinetic energy which is proportional to head, hence it requires high head. Theoretically there is no limit to max value of head.
Correct Answer : 90.91
Explanation : The definition of Hydraulic efficiency in a Kaplan turbine states that it is the ratio between the Runner power to the shaft power. If input water power is 1.10 times the runner power, the runner power is 1/1.10 = 0.90909 Times the water power. Hence, hydraulic efficiency = 90.91%.
Correct Answer : Hydraulic efficiency
Explanation : The definition of Hydraulic efficiency in a Kaplan turbine states that it is the ratio between the Runner power to the shaft power. Hence, the correct option is Hydraulic efficiency.
Correct Answer : Kaplan turbine
Explanation : As the head for Kaplan turbine is low, the discharge of water through the turbine is high and hence, blade resistance should be low. That’s why Kaplan turbine will have the lowest number of blades.
