Pelton Nozzle Diameter and Horse Power

[Roma88]

I'm new to this scene, pls help me! I know 1,000 bars is quite unrealistic, but im trying to get an idea. And how many Horsepower would it create?

Thanks in advance

Yes 1000 bar is 10000meters. This is slightly more, by a few thousand meters, than the height from the worlds tallest mountains to the worlds lowest basins.

I'm sure if you have this resource it will be profitable to exploit it.

Ain't helping with homework grand.

the 600 liters/second would come out at a supersonic 443/sec needing four centimeters nozzle's exit diameter, producing 58MW before counting losses.

I do not think there are materials for nozzles and turbine to resist that speed.

443 m/sec
