Hydraulic Machines MCQ with answer and solution

Very easy level · Asked in State AE, State JE, GPSC AE

Which of the following part of Pelton turbine actively helps in meeting the variable demand of power?

Solution

Concept

Spear and nozzle regulation

Step-by-step solution

1. The spear in the nozzle is moved to change the jet diameter and hence the discharge. 2. This regulates the power output to match the load.

Explanation

Flow regulation is by the spear.

Why the other options are wrong

The breaking jet only stops the runner; runner and bucket do not regulate.

Shortcut

Pelton governing = spear.

Correct answer: B) Nozzle spear arrangement
