| Notes:
1.) The performance calculations are
based upon channel units * 60. Where a channel unit is
either an increase in the number of channels, an additional foot of
channel length, or a 1 pound increase in the weight of a saturated
rotor. Channel units are determined by C^ * Cl
* Rw
The calculation of
the horse power assumes [1
horsepower (hp) = 33000 ft·lbf/min = 550 ft·lbf/s
] (source
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_pound ).
2.) The two horse power calculations
are based upon the use of fresh water, and also the use of mercury, as
the flotation medium. The higher rates from the use of
mercury is due to its greater density. (1:13.8)
3.) Primary optimization factors are
(number of channels, channel length, rotor weight at saturation) ascent
channel only. Secondary optimization factors are (absorbency
of neutral buoyant component of rotors, staging of descents, efficiency
of induction methods, and dry rotor weight) |

Channel vectors: Number of
descent channels 1+
Channel length: Extent of actual
descent in feet
Rotor Weight: Average weight of
saturated rotor
