Description
Summary:Design and fabricating New Pelton Wheel Blade is a conceptual understanding of turbine engineering and water flow engineering which is not provided in daily lectures room due to the fact that it is advance knowledge in this field. It is one of the industry that needs necessary knowledge in Malaysia, this is because in our country has many dam but they did not use Pelton concept turbine. Theoretically, it uses the same concept and field of engineering. As such, it is vital to attain this basic knowledge through this project. The design is taken from the existing Pelton wheel and it is vital because the new Pelton wheel needs to fit inside the existing hub. Material that is strong and considerably light is was used to fabricate the Pelton wheel blade using various methods. Evaluation of the test is based on the data obtained in which its range is identical between the existing and new Pelton wheel blade. The findings suggest that a lighter Pelton are an ideal selection, but we compensate the weight with a much more resistant and strong material. All of the work that been done in this project prove to be vital ta the performance of the Pelton wheel blade.
