Calculation Formula

Power (P) = ρ × g × Q × h × η / 1000

Where:
P = Power (W)
ρ = Density of water (1000 kg/m³)
g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
Q = Flow rate (m³/s)
h = Head (m)
η = Efficiency (%)

  2. Enter the head (vertical distance) in meters (m).
  3. Enter the efficiency of the water wheel as a percentage.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the power generated by the water wheel.
  5. The result will be displayed in watts (W).

Working Principle

The power generated by a water wheel is calculated using the formula:

P = ρ × g × Q × h × η / 1000

Where:

  • P = Power (W)
  • ρ = Density of water (1000 kg/m³)
  • g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
  • Q = Flow rate (m³/s)
  • h = Head (m)
  • η = Efficiency (%)

This formula takes into account the flow rate, head, and efficiency of the water wheel to determine the power output.
