a) Shaft power
b) Runner power
c) Output power
d) Water power
Explanation: In Pelton turbine the energy available at inlet of runner that is at outlet of nozzle is known as runner power, the energy available in penstock is water energy.

a) W*[Vw1+Vw2]u/g
b) W*[Vw1-Vw2]u/g
c) W*[Vw1+Vw2]u/g, W*[Vw1-Vw2]u/g
d) [Vw1+Vw2]u/g
Explanation: Generally work done is force times velocity and expression for it is PQ [Vw1+Vw2] u/g and work done per unit weight gives [Vw1+Vw2]u/g.
4. In Pelton turbine runner power is more when compared with power available at exit of nozzle
a) True
b) False
Explanation: Runner power is less when compared with power available at exit of nozzle due to frictional losses.
5. Kinetic energy of jet at inlet of turbine is given as __________________
a) 0.5(paV1)*V1
b) 0.5(paV1)*V1*V1
c) 0.5(aV1)*V1*V1
d) 0.5(pV1)*V1*V1
Explanation: Expression for kinetic energy is product of half times mass and square of velocity, mass can be written as density time volume.
Where, p = density of liquid, a = area of jet, V1 = inlet jet velocity
6. The force exerted by a jet of water in the direction of jet of jet on a stationary curved plates Fx is ____________
a) pav*v
b) pav
c) pav*v(1+cos k)
d) pav*v(1+sin k)
Explanation: Generally force is rate of change of momentum, in curved blade of angle k change of momentum will be pav*v (1+cos k).
Where, p=density, v=velocity of jet, k=blade angle.
7. The force exerted by a jet of water in the direction of jet of jet on moving curved plates is ___________
a) pa(v-u)*(v-u)
b) pa(v-u)
c) pav*(v-u)(1+cos k)
d) pa(v-u)*(v-u)(1+sin k)
Explanation: Generally force is rate of change of momentum, in curved blade of angle k change of momentum will be pav*(v-u)(1+cos k) here relative velocity is considered than absolute.
Where, p=density, v=velocity of jet, k=blade angle, u=blade velocity.
8. Calculate work done by jet per second on the runner where, discharge=0.7cubic meters/s, inlet and outlet whirl velocities be 23.77 and 2.94?
a) 200Kw
b) 150Kw
c) 187Kw
d) 250Kw
Explanation: As we know the expression for work done per second is W*[Vw1+Vw2] u/g on substituting the above given values we get it as 187Kw.
9. The power supplied at inlet of turbine in S.I units is known as_____________
a) Shaft power
b) Runner power
c) Water power
d) Total power
Explanation: The power supplied at inlet of turbine in S.I units is known as water energy, which contain both kinetic energy and pressure energy.
