Water-Turbine

By Ashik


• Water under pressure contains energy.
• Turbines convert the energy in water into rotating mechanical energy.
• Impulse turbines convert the kinetic energy of a jet of water to mechanical energy.
• Reaction turbines convert potential energy in pressurized water to mechanical energy.



Impulse Turbines

• Tolerate sand.
• Easy to fabricate.
• Efficient at wide a range of head and flow.
• Anozzle convertspressurised water into a high-speed jet of water.


•Pelton
–LowFlow
–Medium to High Head
•Turgo
–Medium Flow
–Medium to High Head
• Crossflow
–HighFlow
–Low to Medium Head
Pelton Turbines
 
 • At least one jet of water strike the buckets at atmospheric pressure.
• Maximum jet diameter about 1/3 bucket width.
• More jets increase flow and are used at low head.                                                  
Pelton Turbine






















 Multiple nozzles

  • Four to six nozzles may be added before splash interference occurs.
  •  Power output is proportional to the number  of nozzles.














 Spear Valves

• Aspear valve changes the nozzle size without stopping the turbine.
• Expensive.
                             




                                                                         Deflectors
• Deflectors can be used to vary flow.
• Usually used for emergency stop without causing water hammer.

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

By Ashik
Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

Alternator Synchronous Generator | Definition and Types of Alternator

By Ashik
  Definition of Alternator The definition of alternator is hidden in the name of this machine itself. An alternator is such a machine which produces alternation electricity. It is a kind of generators which converts mechanical energy into alternating electrical energy. It is also known as synchronous generator. History of Alternator Michael Faraday and Hippolyte Pixii gave the very first concept of alternator . Michael Faraday designed a rotating rectangular turn of conductor inside a magnetic field to produce alternating current in the external static circuit. After that in the year of 1886 J.E.H. Gordon, designed and produced first prototype of useful model. After that Lord Kelvin and Sebastian Ferranti designed a model of 100 to 300 Hz synchronous generator. Nikola Tesla in 1891, designed a commercially useful 15 KHz generator. After this year, poly phase alternators were come into picture which can deliver currents of multiple phases. Use of Alternator ...
