Water trubine, Peru

H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

A water turbine converts the kinetic and potential energy of water into mechanical work.

The impulse turbine illustrated has a stream of water directed at each bucket. The water then simply flows out at the bottom.

The pictures were taken at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.

This is a water turbine for hydroelectric power generation. Water jets are aimed directly at the bucket-shaped blades with the kinetic energy of the water converted into the mechanical motion of the turbine. 		water turbine, hydroelectricity, ICONWELD 2018, Peru, Lima, Welding, Joining, Patricio Mendez, Harry Bhadeshia, PUCU
The turbine is made of 13 wt% chromium, cast steel.
