2. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

   Similarly to turbine meters, the paddle wheel meter requires a minimum run of straight pipe before and after the sensor. Flow displays and controllers are used to receive the signal from the paddle wheel meter and convert it into actual flow rate or total flow values.

3. Paddle wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddle_wheel

   A paddle wheel aereator used in an Indonesian shrimp pond. A paddle wheel is a form of waterwheel or impeller in which a number of paddles are set around the periphery of the wheel. It has several uses, of which some are: Very low-lift water pumping, such as flooding paddy fields at no more than about 0.5 m (20 in) height above the water source ...

4. Pelton wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelton_wheel

   The impulse energy of the water jet exerts torque on the bucket-and-wheel system, spinning the wheel; the water jet does a "u-turn" and exits at the outer sides of the bucket, decelerated to a low velocity. In the process, the water jet's momentum is transferred to the wheel and hence to a turbine. Thus, "impulse" energy does work on the turbine.

5. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

   Rotating paddle level sensors are a very old and established technique for bulk solid point level indication. The technique uses a low-speed gear motor that rotates a paddle wheel. When the paddle is stalled by solid materials, the motor is rotated on its shaft by its own torque until a flange mounted on the motor contacts a mechanical switch.

6. Water metering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_metering

   A compound meter is used where high flow rates are necessary, but where at times there are also smaller rates of flow that need to be accurately measured. Compound meters have two measuring elements and a check valve to regulate flow between them. At high flow rates, water is normally diverted primarily or completely to the high flow element.

7. Raceway pond - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raceway_pond

   Raceway pond used for the cultivation of microalgae. The water is kept in constant motion with a powered paddle wheel. A raceway pond is a shallow artificial pond used in the cultivation of algae. [1] [2] The pond is divided into a rectangular grid, with each rectangle containing one channel in the shape of an oval, like an automotive raceway ...
