WELLS Turbine design! URGENT!

Hello, PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HELP ME!? I am student of Mechanical engineering and I have to solve some problems regarding the WELLS TURBINE DESIGN! Does anyone have any links regarding this topic?

And also could anybody help me out with this? I would be very very grateful! (Maths is not my biggest strength :)

1.How do you get the value U if alpha is in degrees and beta is pi/2
cot α1 = U/VX1 – cot β1
α1 = 90°
β1 = Π/2
VX1 = 265

2.How do you calculate the values for Cθ and Cx based on the differentiation equation?
dFθ = Cθ 550 dr
dFx = Cx 850 dr
 
Engineering news on Phys.org


β1 = Π/2

Π/2 = 90°

If that helps at all.
 


Hello, thanks so much for the reply!

Do you maybe know about

NACA 0012

and how you get the alpha value?
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
