A high reservoir holds water. Water travels from this reservoir down via a big conduit to a turbine and then down a second, similar-sized conduit to create electricity. The pressure is 172.4 kPa at a location in the conduit 89.5 m above the turbine and 89.6 kPa at a level 5 m below the turbine. The flow rate of water is 0.800 m3/s. The turbine's shaft produces 658 kW of power. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Calculate the friction loss in the turbine in J/kg if the turbine's efficiency in transferring the mechanical energy given up by the fluid to the turbine shaft is 89 percent (t = 0.89). It is worth noting that in the mechanical-energy-balance equation, Ws equals the output of the turbine's shaft multiplied by t.

A mini hydro power station takes in 3 cubic meters per second of water from a wide open reservoir through its turbine from an elevation of 15 meters and discharges to its surroundings at 0.50 m/s.
