Q. The hydraulic efficiency of an impulse turbine is maximum when :
Solution:
- Theoretically, an impulse turbine can have a 100% efficiency if the speed of the incoming water jet is two times the speed of the bucket.
- In this case, water will attain a zero velocity with respect to earth (stationary reference frame) and transfer all its energy to the turbine.
