Which of the following is not a reaction turbine?

A Francis turbine
B Kaplan turbine
C Pelton wheel turbine
D Propeller turbine

Correct Answer: Pelton wheel turbine

When the entire pressure of water is converted into kinetic energy in a nozzle and the jet thus formed drives the wheel then the turbine is called impulse turbine. Pelton turbine works in similar way, so it is an impulse turbine. Francis, Kaplan and propeller turbines are reaction turbines.
