When the flow rate at the nozzle of the penstock is 10 m3s


A hydroelectric power plant has a synchronous generator whose speed must be fixed at 180 r/min. The turbine is Francis type with 10 m runner diameter. When the flow rate at the nozzle of the penstock is 10 m3/s, the generated electricity is 50 MW. If the total efficiency of the generator, turbine, and hydro is 88%, compute the velocity of the water jet.
