Question: Repeat Problem 16.29 with the blade rotating as a part of the wheel at a radius of 200 mm and with a linear tangential velocity

Repeat Problem 16.29 with the blade rotating as a part of the wheel at a radius of 200 mm and with a linear tangential velocity of 10 m/s. Also, compute the rotational speed of the wheel in rpm.

Repeat Problem

Figure 16.23 is a sketch of a turbine in which the incoming stream of water at 15°C has a diameter of 7.50 mm and is moving with a velocity of 25 m/s. Compute the force on one blade of the turbine if the stream is deflected through the angle shown and the blade is stationary.
