Pelton turbines are:

  • A.Tangential flow turbine
  • B.Radial flow turbine
  • C.Axial flow turbine
  • D.Mixed flow turbine

Answer: A

Pelton turbines are tangential flow turbines.

In a Pelton wheel the water jet strikes the buckets along the tangent to the runner's circumference. It is an impulse turbine used for high heads and low discharge.

The Francis turbine is a radial (inward) or mixed flow reaction turbine, and the Kaplan and propeller turbines are axial flow.
