Diameter of Bucket Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bucket Circle Diameter = (60*Bucket Velocity)/(pi*Working Speed)
D_b = (60*V_b)/(pi*N)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Bucket Circle Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Bucket circle diameter is the diameter of the circle that is formed by the tips of the turbine blades or buckets as they rotate.
Bucket Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Bucket velocity refers to the velocity of the water as it passes through the turbine buckets.
Working Speed - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Working speed of a hydroelectric plant depends on various factors such as the design of the plant, the type of turbines used, the head and flow rate of water, and the desired electrical output.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bucket Velocity: 2.36 Meter per Second --> 2.36 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Working Speed: 350 Revolution per Minute --> 36.6519142900145 Radian per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_b = (60*V_b)/(pi*N) --> (60*2.36)/(pi*36.6519142900145)

Evaluating ... ...

D_b = 1.22974968038448

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.22974968038448 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.22974968038448 ≈ 1.22975 Meter <-- Bucket Circle Diameter

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
