| Research Abstract |
In the present study, a new type duct-shaped waterwheel is suggested and experimental studies on its performance are carried out. Original models based on the suggested basic ideas and their improved models are investigated. As an example, maximum efficiency is improved from 1. 9% to 7. 7% by revised designs for shapes of vane, boss and so on. For this new type duct-shaped waterwheel, more practical improvements are expected in the future works.
