A liquid jet of velocity Vj and area Aj strikes a single 180° bucket on a turbine wheel rotating at angular velocity , as in Fig. P3.51. Derive an expression for the power P delivered to this wheel at this instant as a function of the system parameters. At what angular velocity is the maximum power delivered? How would your analysis differ if there were many, many buckets on the wheel, so that the jet was continually striking at least one bucket?
