Velocity profiles and pumping capacities of turbine type impellers.
Velocity profiles of propeller and turbine type impellers were measured in both air and water using a hot wire anemometer probe, and two and three dimensional pitot tubes. These pitot probes were particularly suitable for this work, since they permitted the measurement of velocity and inclination of flow in the turbine jet, from which the radial and tangential velocity components were evaluated.
