The notch in the bucket of a Pelton wheel serves to facilitate the efficient capture of water jets. When the high-velocity jet strikes the bucket, the notch helps direct the water flow, allowing the bucket to extract maximum kinetic energy from the water. This design reduces turbulence and ensures that the water efficiently redirects, enhancing the overall efficiency of energy conversion in the turbine. By optimizing the water's impact angle, the notch contributes to improved performance and power generation.

Why buckets in pelton wheel turbine are provided notch?

Buckets in a Pelton wheel turbine are provided with notches to enhance the efficient capture of the water jet's kinetic energy. The notches help to create a better jet deflection, allowing the water to flow smoothly around the bucket, reducing the risk of splashing and promoting effective energy transfer. This design also aids in minimizing turbulence and ensuring that the water leaves the bucket in a controlled manner, maximizing the turbine's efficiency.


What is difference between pelton wheel and turgo turbine?

pelton turbine is used for high head low flow but the turgo turbine is used for low head high flow, in pelton turbine number of jet can increased but in turgo it can't be done, in pelton the water hits the bucket once at a time but in tugo it hits more than one
