Analysis of propellers for micro hydro power for domestic and comercial loads

The reaction turbine technology for low head application in the micro hydro power range has been vastly neglected despite niche available in scattered region of valley flows as well as in waste water canals and other energy recovery schemes, where the available head does not exceed two meters. The m...
