How would I go about getting what I am trying to achieve? is there another formula(s) I can use? There is another formula that I found on the internet, but I am unsure if it is what I am after. Can you confirm? Power = (1/2)(Turbine Efficiency) (Water Density) (Turbine Sweep Area) (Water...

I am trying to figure out what PA is. I am assuming that is Power in? I am wanting power, I am unsure what i need for units to get power. My teacher gave us some of these formula's so I cannot reference these unfortunately. They come from a hydraulics teacher.

Perfect. I appreciate your response. I will try to make this explanation as near winded as possible but give as much info as possible on what we are doing. We are working on a final project for our civil engineering course. We decided to do our project on kinetic energy specifically kinetic...

attached is my excel sheet. That didn't print very well. I am not sure about all my units for all of these. Let me know if you guys can help me out. Thanks.

Removed to clean this thread up (see the exel sheet below)

Homework Statement Hey everyone, trying to finish up a report and having a problem with getting to the final answer. It is a final report on hydro kinetic energy. We are planning to install a hydro kinetic turbine under a bridge and calculate what the energy output would be in KW. I am...
