Claudio Mataix's "Turbomáquinas Hidráulicas" (Hydraulic Turbomachinery) is considered a fundamental pillar of fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering in the Spanish-speaking world.
Mataix posits that the torque exerted on the rotor by the fluid is derived from the change in the angular momentum of the fluid as it enters and exits the rotor. turbomaquinas hidraulicasclaudio mataix
He provides a detailed analysis of the main types of turbines used in hydroelectric plants: : For high head and low flow. Francis : The most versatile, used for medium head and flow. such as: Pelton Turbines
