OBSERVATIONS AND CALCULATIONS

Input power=Pi =ρghQ


Pressure =p=ρgh Volume=0.005m3
Also Input power=Pi= p x Q
Diameter of wheel= D= -----
Radius of wheel=R= D/2=---
Torque= (F1- F2)x R 1kg/cm2 = 98066.5 N/m2
Volume flow rate=-------- m3/s

Output power=Po=Tw
Angular velocity=w=2πN/60
Efficiency=E=Po/Pi
