SAMPLE CALCULATION:
Input power P1 = ρgHQ
Total head=Hm+Z+U2/2g
Pressure head Hm = 30 feet of water = 9.144 m
Flow rate Q = 7.896 × (Δh)1/2 = 7.896 × ( 11.5)1/2 = 26.77 m3/hr = 7.43× 10-3m3/s.
Velocity of flow U = Q/A = Q/(πd2/4)
= ( 7.43 × 10-3)/( 8.1 × 10-3) = 0.92 m/s
Gravity Head Z = ZL – ZS = 76 – 23 cm =0.53 m
H= Hm+Z+U2/2g=9.144+0.53+0.043=9.717m
P1 = ρgHQ = (1000) × (9.8) × ( 9.72) × ( 7.43 × 10-3) = 707.752 W
Power Po = T.ω
radius of wheel R = 0.153 m

For Load =0.91 kg Reading from spring balance = 0.020kg reading = 550 rpm
Torque T (in N.m.) = ((T1 – T2) × g) × R
For any one part Torque is = ( 0.91-0.020) × 9.8) × 0.153 = 1.33 N.m .
Angular velocity = ω = 2πf=57.57

Po = T.ω= ( 1.33) × ( 57.57) = 76.82 W.
