Hi Hydrologists! Need help in calculating Breast shot water wheel's R.P.M based on availablle water head (i.e. around 6 feet) and water flow rate (i.e. 14.3 cubic feet per second).

Thanks in advance
 
And what have you tried? Anything?

or do you just want the answer?
 
I think 163 RPM

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.
 
The 13,000,000 million $ price tag for that thing makes it highly unlikely ANYONE would do it, except for the ones made under license in Italy. They look so nice the extra money is worth it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.
