A Pelton wheel, located at an elevation of 200.0 m, is used to extract power from a reservoir at an elevation of 800 m. A penstock 1500 m long and 0.8 m in diameter connects the reservoir with the nozzle of the Pelton wheel. Minor losses are K = 3 and C = 1500. The Pelton wheel is 3.0 m in diameter, and the nozzle exit is 0.2 m in diameter. Determine the maximum power output of the Pelton wheel. Is a Pelton wheel the appropriate turbine type for this application?
