Water wheel formula, please ? -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

August 30, 2005, 02:06	Water wheel formula, please ?	#1
Externet Guest Posts: n/a	Hi. Unable to rescue my books at the moment, and several decades after the university years, cannot remember enough to calculate this : A paddle wheel with 1m² flat paddles (1m x 1m) is turned by a river laminar flowing at 0.5 m/sec. What is its horsepower capability? -The paddle wheel is attached to a pier end, the paddles submerge fully when at the low point.- This is not a case of water poured at the top of a wheel and turning the wheel by water weight. Friction can be not taken in account. Or, if someone can lend me the formulas, thanks! Miguel
