Water flow and propeller speed

[dioross]

hi everyone!
need some help about propellers..say i have a fixed mounted propeller and a flow of water with known velocity runs through it.. what would be the rpm of the propeller??.. i know there a re lots of things and parameters to consider... i need some good references, calculations ,and basic formulas..thanks!..any help would be appreciated..

Regards,

im having a special project in flow meters and i want to design a propeller that provides RPM given a velocity of incoming water.. so i can disregard power, lift,drag,torque calculations..or what should i do?...all i want to have is the parameters of the propeller that provides the designed RPM..thanks
