The role of
unsteadiness
for
energy
transmission
From the velocity triengle (Fig. 5.2.1) assuming the blade speed is constant:
rlcidt
=
dat/dt.
Furthermore the followii~g relation holds between the peripheral angle
cp,
of
a
point on the rotor, measured from a stationary radius and
cp,
rneasured from a radius
rotating with
angulal- velocity
to,
t
as the time elapsed since the instant, when both radii
coincided:
q,
=
cp,
+
tor.
Since
d{p,/dt
=
o,
dq,/dqr
=
1,
w
=
~(49,~
1)
yields
d~vldt
-
(a,vli?q,)
(8cyr/dq,)
rl
q,/dt
+
a
w/at.
Hence
From this it is seen,
that even when the relative flow is steady
(d~c,/df
=
0),
an
unsteadiness
of absolute flow is caused by the variation of relative velocity over the pitch of the rotor
channel
(dw/i?cp,
+
0),
(see Fig. 5.3.1 b).
This variation of
~c
gives from (5.3-6) for the case
Y,
=
constant (i.e. absolute potential
flow) the variation of pressure across the channel and with it the differential pressure
on
a
blade element of the runner (impeller). This enables the conversion of shaft work into
flow energy and vice versa.

The
momentum theorems
I.
Gcneral remarks: The application of the energy equation
and
the equation of motion
requires a detailed knowledge of the flow field. In some cases,
e.g., that of the jet oilto the
bucket of an impulse turbine, the flow field on
a
definite face is known, e.g. on the jet cross
section upstream of the bucket. From this starting point, the force which is exerted by the
fluid on a particular body is required, e.g. the force the jet exerts on the runner.
11.
The momentum theorem: For the solution of this task, an inner control surface on
a
body (Fig. 5.3.2a) with unknown force
i.'
is surrounded by the fluid, that is enclosed by
an
outer control surface
A,
on which the pressure and the momentunl flow are known
lheoretically or by measurement.
Newton's equation of motion is applied to the fluid within this control space, see e.g.
fiucketdrodt
[5.3].
As this holds good for a certain
fluid
mass, special attention has to be
