Question about turbines, mechanical design

[nico_9188]

Hi guys, I'm working on a machine which has a turbine which will spin through a container filled with water. I have to justify the design of the turbine and the blades surface. I looked up in some books referring to mixers designs such as (Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering by Warren L. McCabe, Julian Smith, and Peter Harriott) and (Handbook of Industrial Mixing: Science and Practice), but I need more precise information. I would like to ask if you have any empirical information about turbines or a book which could help or anything related to this (i'm seeking for a relationship between power, angular speed, turbine characteristics, and specifical weight of the fluid).

Thanks in advance,

Nico

hmm...as I remember from my college days...for the blade profile...the velocity triangles will give u what u need in terms of angular speed and energy...
