ve velocities are of greatimportance in determining the dynamic pressures produced by astream of water on the moving vanes or blades of water-motors. F)rexample, consider Fig. 19, whichrepresents a revolving wheel Inn-ing an orifice from which waterissues horizontally with the rela-tive velocity V… … Fip 19, Velocity of Stream Leaviig orStriking Revolving Vane. is the absolute velocity of thewater as it leaves the wheel (ve-locity with respect to the ground).
