The correct answer is option A.

Bharathi said:   8 years ago
The correct answer is option A. Because when moving vane depends on pressure doesn't a velocity.

Vijay said:   8 years ago
This is curved vane not a straight plate.

Ayan said:   8 years ago
The correct answer is option A.

You are right, I agree with you @Vijay.

Answer 1/3 is right it's curved vane.

Jaimin said:   7 years ago
1/3 is correct. I agree.

Rohit said:   7 years ago
Can anyone explain this?

Deepak rathva said:   7 years ago
1/3 is correct.
dn/du = 0 for max. n (efficiency).
Solving this we get u = V/3.

The hydraulic efficiency of an impulse turbine is maximum when the velocity of the wheel is one-half the velocity of a jet of water at the inlet.
