June 2, 2017, 07:01	Water Turbine (Fan type) - fluid speed/rotation balance	#1
Johndm New Member Join Date: Nov 2016 Posts: 5 Rep Power: 9	I have set up a water (fan type) turbine in a body of flowing water (a pipeline). I have set up the water flow rate at 10m/s and the turbine rotation at 60rpm. The study converged quickly but I'm not sure the rotation speed matches what would occur at 10 m/s flow. How do I check if there is imbalance between the input (flow rate) and the output (fan rotation)? Also, once balance is obtained, how do I get a value of the turbine torque generated?
