In the first step, the water will be transferred from the high head source through penstock.
Next the nozzle arrangement (at the end of penstock) lets the water to accelerate. The water then flows out with high velocity just like a high-speed jet and discharges at an atmospheric pressure.
The jet will then hit the splitter of the buckets. These buckets will disperse the jet into 2 halves of a bucket and the wheel will start to revolve.
In the last step, the kinetic energy of the jet will be reduced when it hits the bucket and due to the spherical shape of buckets the jet will change its direction and falls into tail race by taking a u-turn.
