Speed of Bucket given Angular Velocity and Radius Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bucket Velocity = Angular Velocity*Bucket Circle Diameter/2
V_b = ω*D_b/2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bucket Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Bucket velocity refers to the velocity of the water as it passes through the turbine buckets.
Angular Velocity - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Angular velocity is the rate at which the turbines are rotating, measured in radians per second or revolutions per minute (RPM).
Bucket Circle Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Bucket circle diameter is the diameter of the circle that is formed by the tips of the turbine blades or buckets as they rotate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angular Velocity: 3.83 Radian per Second --> 3.83 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
Bucket Circle Diameter: 1.23 Meter --> 1.23 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_b = ω*D_b/2 --> 3.83*1.23/2

Evaluating ... ...

What is the range of speed of Hydro Power Plant?

Most hydro power plants use either Francis, Kaplan, or Pelton turbines, each of which has a different operating range. Generally speaking, Francis turbines operate at speeds between 100 and 600 revolutions per minute (rpm), while Kaplan turbines operate at speeds between 100 and 250 rpm. Pelton turbines, on the other hand, operate at much higher speeds, typically between 500 and 1,500 rpm.
