Seite 69 - ... are so small as to be easily obstructed or choked. The water enters the buckets in the direction of the tangent to the last element of the guide-curves, which is a tangent to the first element of the curved buckets. The water ought to press steadily against the curved buckets, entering them without shock or impulse, and quitting them without velocity, in order to obtain the greatest useful effect ; otherwise a portion of the water's power must be wasted or expended, without producing useful effect...

It drives a spinning-mill belonging to M. d'Eichtal. A second turbine, at the same establishment, is worked by a column of water of 108 metres, or 354 feet high, which is brought into the machine by cast-iron pipes of 18 inches diameter of the local measure, or about 16| inches English. The diameter of the water-wheel is...
Seite 137 - Each wheel will be thoroughly tested from half to whole gate, and, if deemed best, under at least two different heads ; also under several feet of back water. At the conclusion of the trial, a full report will be made of the results obtained and of the workmanship, and probable durability of each kind of wheel tried. Turbine builders of this or any other country are invited to furnish wheels, and those proposing to do so should give notice of such intention as soon as possible. Tests to commence...
Seite 38 - Of The Friction Of The Apertures Of Spouting Fluids. The doctrine of this species of friction appears to be as follows: "1. The ratio of the friction of round apertures, is as their diameters, nearly; while the quantity expended, is as the squares of their diameters. "2. The friction of an aperture of any regular or irregular figure, is as the length of the sum of the circumscribing lines, nearly; the quantities being as the areas of the aperture, therefore "3. The less the head or pressure, and...

It will be seen from this description that the strain of the power received through the belt on A will necessarily react on the levers, and, through them, on the fixed wheel, which may be considered nothing more nor less than a support to these levers in sustaining them in position to connect the loose receiving pulley with the shaft. At...
Seite 351 - For example : — A stream flows through a flume 10 feet wide, and the depth of the water is 4 feet ; the area of the cross section will be 40 feet. The velocity is 150 feet per minute — 40 x 150 = 6,000 = the cubic feet of water flowing per minute.
