Design and Development of 1.5KW Pelton Wheel Turbine

Abstract

This paper aims to represent a pelton wheel turbine that designed and fabricated in Omdurman Islamic University, faculty of engineering Sciences. The pelton wheel is designed using empirical formulae and its model is tested for the purpose to get its performance characteristics. The main geometric parameters which determined in this work are runner diameter, bucket size and nozzle diameter and dimension of other mechanical parts. The results which obtained by this design procedure are compared with that in available literature and they are acceptable.
