the wheel must be sufficient to give the falling watergreater velocity than the periphery. The peripheral velocityin practice is from 5 to 10 feet per second, that of the fallingwater from 9 to 12 feet per second, corresponding to a heightof from 16 to 27 inches above the wheel. These wheels are… … Fig. 152.—Section of Overshot Water-wheel. 3I2 EXPERIMENTAL ENGINEERING. [§ 24I. Let d equal the depth of the buckets, b the width of thewheel, r the radius of the wheel, n the number of revolutionsper second, v the peripheral velocity in feet per second, Q thewater-supply in cubic feet per second,…
