Water Wheel Form 6: Equal-head-and-diameter Scenario
Explore gross hydraulic power in the special scenario where head equals wheel diameter. Torque is calculated at an entered speed; real wheel performance is not...
Water Wheel Form 3: Overshot Animation, Power and Energy Calculator
Calculate an overshot-wheel power scenario from steady flow, net head and entered efficiency. Compare torque at chosen rpm and energy for constant 24-hour operation.
Water Wheel Form 2: Pitchback Animation and Power Calculator
Calculate power from flow and net head for an illustrated pitchback wheel. Rpm and torque use an explicit fixed rim-speed assumption of 1.8 m/s.
