Abstracts: Pelton wheel turbine is very important part of power plant. It is hydro mechanical energy conversion device which converts gravitational energy of elevated water into mechanical work. This mechanical work is converted into electrical energy by means of running an electrical generator. The kinetic energy of the Water-jet is directedtangentially at the buckets of a Pelton-wheel. TheWater-jet strikes on each bucket’s convex profilesplitter and get split into two halves. Each half isturned backwards, almost through 180° relative tothe bucket on a horizontal plane. Practically thisangle may vary between 165° to 170°. Normally allthe jet energy is used in propelling the rim of thebucket wheel. The purpose of this project is done some experiment on a pelton wheel turbine. We will perform experimental work on a pelton wheel turbine by applying different values of water jet velocity and giving different values of loads then measure the output of the pelton wheel turbine with also we will find the pump efficiency and turbine efficiency.
