Talk:Pelton wheel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Relate the link Governor to Governer (Device) instead.

[edit] Ian Gilmartin

Not sure about that link, his is not a pelton wheel of any description. I think it is just advertising and I am removing the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.113.137 (talk) 22:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Energy

The bottom of the article states that "Energy is force times distance, and the higher pressure can apply the same force with less mass flow." Force times distance, though energy, does not intuitively translate to decreasing flow rate with higher pressure. I believe this should be reworded as "Pressure times volume is energy, and higher pressure can deliver the same amount of work with less mass flow."

If no one complains or makes a similar change, I will probably make this change myself some time after the first of the year. --Commdweeb 13:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC) q gonorrea —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.70.95.1 (talk) 16:28, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Water...

Water is compressible...

...but for the purposes of most calculations is taken to be incompressable.
