A Pelton wheel‚ also called a Pelton turbine‚ is one of the most efficient types of water turbines. It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton (1829-1908) in the 1870s‚ and is an impulse machine‚ meaning that it uses Newton’s second law to extract energy from a jet of fluid.

INTRODUCTION In hydroelectric power plant‚ turbine been used to generate power from reservoir of water. Turbine been selected by their characteristic curves based on the potential energy available in the water and the amount of power to be generated. Turbine is a type that develops torque by reacting to the pressure or weight of a fluid. The operation of reaction turbine can be describes by the Newton’s third law of motion that is for every action‚ there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this

Automotive engine Engines are desinged to be two strokes or four strokes of a piston that moves up and down in a cylinder. Generally‚ the automotive engine uses four strokes to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy through combustion of gasoline or similar hydrocarbon fuel. The heat produced is converted into mechanical work by pushing the piston down in the cylinder. A connecting rod attached to the piston transfers this energy to a rotating crankshaft Engines having from 1
