De Marssumermolen, Marssum 57 cogs. This drives the "wallower" (31 cogs) at the top of the "upright shaft". At the bottom of the "upright shaft" there are two "crown wheels"' The upper "crown wheel", which has 17 cogs drives an Archimedes' screw. The axle of the Archimedes' screw is diameter and long. This screw is used to pump water into the polder. The lower "crown wheel", which has 43 cogs, drives a gearwheel with 38 cogs on the axle of an Archimedes' screw, which is used to drain the polder. The axle of the screw is diameter and long. The screw is diameter.
Archimedes number Archimedes number In viscous fluid dynamics, the Archimedes number (Ar) (not to be confused with Archimedes' constant, π), named after the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes is used to determine the motion of fluids due to density differences. It is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio of external forces to internal viscous forces and has the form: where: When analyzing potentially mixed heat convection of a liquid, the Archimedes number parametrizes the relative strength of free and forced convection. When Ar » 1 natural convection dominates, i.e. less dense bodies rise and denser bodies sink, and when Ar « 1
