Pelton Turbine: Working, Main Parts, Applications (Complete Guide)

Leave a Comment / Fluid Mechanics / Pankaj Mishra

A Pelton turbine is a type of impulse turbine used to generate power from high-head water sources. It is widely used in hydroelectric power plants where water is available at a high elevation but with relatively low flow rates. Unlike reaction turbines, the Pelton turbine converts the entire kinetic energy of a high-speed water jet
