Assume constant area

Ca1 Ca 2 Ca

t = tip,
h = hub

Ideal (Euler) head

E U C x 2 C x1 g

Maximum head

1 90o
C x1 0 and C1 Ca
C x 2 U Ca cot 2
E U U Ca cot 2 g

Twisted Blade
Consideration:
Constant energy transfer over the whole span of the blade from
hub to tip

E U U Ca cot 2 g U 2 UCa cot 2 g

If r increases from Rh to Rt U increases

To maintain constant E, then cot 2 must increase as r increases

Blade Element Theory

Consideration when designing the number of blades

c
Solidity ratio,
s

c = blade chord
s = blade pitch

Circulation around an isolated blade
