Breast Shot Wheel
Breast shot wheel:One type of traditionalWater wheel
Water wheels: sourceOf power for theIndustrial revolution

Overshot Wheel
More efficient that breast shotWheel. Some mills usingThese wheels still in operationIn rural appalachia in 1950’s

Low Head Hydroelectrical Generators Low head:Propellor typeTurbines
Power =Change in PotentialEnergy per Unit time
= weight* Vertical drop/time
Energy = Power*time

Moderate Head Hydro
Head: height differenceBetween water level inReservoir and waterLevel entering turbine
Head= height in potentialEnergy equation
Penstock: tube water flowsThrough

Pelton Water Wheel
Used for high head applications:(above 250 meters)Are impulse turbines.
Francis and Propeller type turbineAre reaction turbines.
Reaction turbines: run submerged.
Impulse turbines: run in normal air

Jets of Water Hitting Pelton Wheel
Jets of water are directed through a nozzle onto Pelton wheelCups on the wheel transfer kinetic energy from water to wheel.

Optimum Hydroelectric Turbine Type
Optimum waterWheel: notJust a functionOf head, alsoDepends on Water flow rate

States Producing Most Hydroelectricity
Why is thereSo much Variation in theGallons of waterPer kilowatthour?

Itaipu Dam
Presently world’s largest Hydroelectric plant
On Parana river betweenBrazil and Paraguay
Capacity: 12,600 MW(drought a problem recently):Provides:25% of Brazil power78% of Paraguay power

Environmental Problems with Dams
1) Silt buildup fills reservoir (Yangtze; levees)2) Fish migration disrupted (Columbia)3)Water temperature decreases (Colorado)4) Water gets more saline (Colorado)5) Water loses oxygen (Brazil)6) Water slows down, increases disease (mosquitos, schitosomiasis (Aswan))7) Water traps pollution, slows pollution flushing8) Induced seismicity may occur
