Height of Fall of Pelton Wheel Turbine Power Plant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fall Height = (Velocity of Jet^2)/(2*[g]*Coefficient of Velocity^2)
H = (V_J^2)/(2*[g]*C_v^2)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Fall Height - (Measured in Meter) - Fall height, is an important factor in hydroelectric power generation. It refers to the vertical distance that the water falls from the intake point to the turbine.
Velocity of Jet - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of jet is depends on several factors such as the head, the flow rate of water & the size and shape of the nozzle through which the water is directed onto the turbine blades.
Coefficient of Velocity - The coefficient of velocity is defined as the ratio of actual velocity of water at the turbine inlet to the theoretical velocity of water in the absence of losses.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Jet: 68.63 Meter per Second --> 68.63 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Velocity: 0.98 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (V_J^2)/(2*[g]*C_v^2) --> (68.63^2)/(2*[g]*0.98^2)

Evaluating ... ...

H = 250.049030575949

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

250.049030575949 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

250.049030575949 ≈ 250.049 Meter <-- Fall Height
