Introduction to Turbines A turbine is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. A turbine is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. Types: 1. Impulse turbine : - Pelton turbine & turgo turbine 2. Reaction turbines: - francis turbine, propellor turbine & kaplan turbine 2. Introduction to Pelton Wheel Turbine A Pelton turbine or Pelton wheel is a type of hydro turbine (specifically an impulse turbine) used frequently in hydroelectric plants. This type of turbine was created during the gold rush in 1 880 by Lester A Pelton. A Pelton wheel turbine is a tangential impulse turbine Available energy at entrance is...
