How to Evaluate Power of Pelton Turbine?

Power of Pelton Turbine evaluator uses Power of Pelton Turbine = (1+K Factor for Pelton*cos(Outlet Bucket Angle of Pelton))*Mass Density*Volume Flow Rate For Pelton Turbine*Bucket Velocity of Pelton Turbine*Inlet Relative Velocity of Pelton Turbine to evaluate the Power of Pelton Turbine, Power of Pelton Turbine is the mechanical energy output generated by converting the kinetic energy of a high-speed water jet striking the turbine's buckets. This conversion depends on the water flow rate, the height of the waterfall (head), and the efficiency of the turbine. The primary factors influencing the power are the velocity of the water jet and the force exerted on the turbine's buckets. Power of Pelton Turbine is denoted by Pt symbol.
