Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the evolution of the Turbine wheel as an efficient motor in the realms of hydraulic engineering. Initial chapters focus on the theoretical foundations for this wheel design, identifying key principles regarding water pressure and reaction. The author then discusses how these principles were practically applied in the evolution of Turbine wheels, highlighting the innovative work of Boyden and Francis. The book follows the development of Turbine wheels from their initial design by Fourneyron and Fontaine through the improvements made by Boyden and Francis. The author demonstrates how their innovations led to significant increases in the wheel's efficiency, establishing the Turbine as a crucial tool for harnessing water power. By exploring both the theoretical and practical dimensions of Turbine wheel design, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical development of this important technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
