Jet Ratio: it is defined as the ratio of the pitch diameter (D) of the pelton turbine to the diameter of the jet (d). It is denoted by m and is given as

m = D/d (=12 for most cases)

What is speed ratio of turbines?

The speed ratio of turbines refers to the ratio of the rotational speed of the turbine rotor to the rotational speed of the turbine shaft. This ratio is important for defining the mechanical performance and efficiency of the turbine.

What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?

That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.


What kind of engine is a jet engine?

Gas Turbine.


How do you calculate rpm of a wind turbine?

You can calculate the rotation speed (rpm) of a wind turbine by dividing the rotational speed of the generator (usually given in revolutions per minute, or rpm) by the gear ratio of the turbine. The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the turbine's gear to the number of teeth on the generator's gear. This formula allows you to determine the turbine's rpm based on the generator's rpm and the gear ratio.


Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?

They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."


When two or more turbine wheels are used in a jet engine what is placed in front each turbine wheel?

turbine stator (nozzle diaphragm)

What is jet engine engine pressure ratio?

The pressure ratio in jet engines is the ratio of pressure between the entrance of the compressor and the exit of the compressor.


How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?

Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.


What is governing of impulse turbine?

Basically governing of a turbine is controlling the speed of the turbine as the load keeps varying. The turbine needs to rotate at a constant speed. The governing of an impulse turbine is done by varying the jet of water that hits the buckets of the runner. This is done by using a spear arrangement in the pen stock. A pen stock is a type of pipe that provides the jet of water.
