Michell Turbine
A cross-flow turbine, Bánki-Michell turbine, or Ossberger turbine''E.F. Lindsley,'' Water power for your homePopular Science, May 1977, Vol. 210, No. 5 87-93. is a water turbine developed by the Australian Anthony Michell, the Hungarian Donát Bánki and the German Fritz Ossberger. Michell obtained patents for his turbine design in 1903, and the manufacturing company Weymouth made it for many years. Ossberger's first patent was granted in 1933 ("Free Jet Turbine" 1922, Imperial Patent No. 361593 and the "Cross Flow Turbine" 1933, Imperial Patent No. 615445), and he manufactured this turbine as a standard product. Today, the company founded by Ossberger is the leading manufacturer of this type of turbine. Unlike most water turbines, which have axial or radial flows, in a cross-flow turbine the water passes through the turbine transversely, or across the turbine blades. As with a water wheel, the water is admitted at the turbine's edge. After passing to the inside of the runner, it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Michell Solution
The Michell solution is a general solution to the elasticity equations in polar coordinates ( r, \theta \,) developed by J. H. Michell. The solution is such that the stress components are in the form of a Fourier series in \theta \, . Michell showed that the general solution can be expressed in terms of an Airy stress function of the form : \begin \varphi(r,\theta) &= A_0~r^2 + B_0~r^2~\ln(r) + C_0~\ln(r) \\ & + \left(I_0~r^2 + I_1~r^2~\ln(r) + I_2~\ln(r) + I_3~\right) \theta \\ & + \left(A_1~r + B_1~r^ + B_1'~r~\theta + C_1~r^3 + D_1~r~\ln(r)\right) \cos\theta \\ & + \left(E_1~r + F_1~r^ + F_1'~r~\theta + G_1~r^3 + H_1~r~\ln(r)\right) \sin\theta \\ & + \sum_^ \left(A_n~r^n + B_n~r^ + C_n~r^ + D_n~r^\right)\cos(n\theta) \\ & + \sum_^ \left(E_n~r^n + F_n~r^ + G_n~r^ + H_n~r^\right)\sin(n\theta) \end The terms A_1~r~\cos\theta\, and E_1~r~\sin\theta\, define a trivial null state of stress and are ignored.
