Water flows from the bottom of a large tank where the pressure is 120 psia to a turbine located 65 ft below the bottom of the tank that produces 40 hp. The pressure at the turbine exit is 42 psia and the water velocity is 36 ft/sec. The flow rate of the water is 127 lbm/sec.

1. If the friction loss in the system, not including the turbine, is 32 ft lbf/lbm, what is the efficiency of the turbine?
