A theoretical model of a turbine meter, incorporating fewer restrictions than previously available models, is analyzed from both the momentum and airfoil viewpoints. The two resulting equations for driving torque are explored in a series of graphs and discussed. Emphasis is on design implications. Of particular interest are the criteria, resulting from this analysis, for determining the conditions necessary for full fluid guidance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
