Velocity through a water turbine
Sorry desertfox, my mistake, the dynamic pressure is 0.5 x density x velocity^2, it doesn’t include the area. The units work out to be Watts with this dynamic pressure multiplied by the flow rate (area x velocity). The text books I have, and previous reports use this equation for the water...- katmech

Velocity through a water turbine
Hi all I have a question about calculating power from a water turbine. If I have a rotor with an inlet area A1 and an inlet velocity V1, and an outlet area A2 and velocity V2, if the rotor tapers down, A2 is smaller than A1, therefore to satisfy the mass flow rate through the closed rotor, V2...- katmech
