Speed of Bucket given Diameter and RPM Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bucket Velocity = (pi*Bucket Circle Diameter*Working Speed)/60
V_b = (pi*D_b*N)/60
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

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.
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.
Working Speed - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Working speed of a hydroelectric plant depends on various factors such as the design of the plant, the type of turbines used, the head and flow rate of water, and the desired electrical output.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bucket Circle Diameter: 1.23 Meter --> 1.23 Meter No Conversion Required
Working Speed: 350 Revolution per Minute --> 36.6519142900145 Radian per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_b = (pi*D_b*N)/60 --> (pi*1.23*36.6519142900145)/60

Evaluating ... ...

V_b = 2.360480385807

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.360480385807 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.360480385807 ≈ 2.36048 Meter per Second <-- Bucket Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

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.
