    Reaction force on Pelton

    turbines
    • Relative reaction force
    • Absolute reaction force
    Relative reaction force
    acting on the Pelton runner
    The relative reaction force is the force acting
    from the jet on a bucket when the runner is
    rotating.
    This force can be found by the help of Newton’s
    2. law:
    dw dm
    dFR  a R  dm  dm  dw    Q R  dw
    dt dt

    FR    Q R   w 1  w 2 

    The relative flow rate is given by:

      d s2
    Q R  A  w 1  A   c1  u1    c1  u1 
    4
    Further we can find values for the relative velocities

    w 1  c1  u1
    w 2 u  w 2  cos  2  w 2   w1   c1  u1 

    The relative reaction force becomes:

    FR    Q R    c1  u1    c1  u1  

    FR  2    Q R   c1  u1 
    c1
    If we use: u1 
    2

    Then:  c1  u1    c1  c1   c1
     2 2

    The relative reaction force becomes:

    Absolute reaction force
    acting on the Pelton runner
    The absolute reaction force can be found by
    calculating the impulse from the jet.
    This force can be found by the help of Newton’s
    2. law:

    FA    Q A   c1  c 2 u     Q A   c1   u 2  w 2  

    For a relative velocity, w2 = -(c-u)


     u  w 2    2  u  c
    The absolute reaction force becomes:

    FA  2    Q A   c1  u 
