If the discharge is 500cfs what power output may be


If the discharge is 500cfs, what power output may be expected from the turbine? Assume that the turbine efficiency is 90% and that the overall head loss is 1.5V 2/2g, where V is the velocity in the 7 ft penstock. Assume a=1.0 at all locations.

D=7ft diameter of pipe

30 ft to water surface in tank from datum

5 ft to water surface below where turbine is releasing water into from datum
