Answer:

a) Pelton Turbine

b) [tex]P=2.42*10^{5}KW[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]h=50[/tex]

Flow Rate [tex]R= 500 m^3/s[/tex]

Rotational speed [tex]\omega=\90 RPM[/tex]

Let

Density of water

[tex]\rho=1000[/tex]

Generally the equation for momentum is mathematically given by

[tex]P=\rho gRh[/tex]

[tex]P=1000*9.81*500*50[/tex]

[tex]P=2.42*10^{5}KW[/tex]
