Abstract
Water spreading in Pelton buckets is three-dimensional and obeys Newton’s second law of motion. As it has already been derived in Sect. 6.2 by applying this law, the relative flow of water in a rotating bucket can be described by the . According to Eq. (5.23), all water particles in a given jet layer retain the same value of energy invariance. This so-called jet layer method will be applied here to determine the relative flow rate in the rotating system.
