An engineer is making an estimate for a home owner. This owner has a small stream (Q = 0.05 m³/s) that is located at an elevation H = 11.6 m above the owner's residence. The owner is proposing to dam the stream, diverting the flow through a pipe (penstock). This flow will spin a hydraulic turbine, which in turn will drive a generator to produce electrical power. Estimate the maximum power in kilowatts that can be generated if there is no head loss and both the turbine and generator are 100% efficient. Also, estimate the power if the head loss is 1.9 m, the turbine is 75% efficient, and the generator is 94% efficient. -Penstock Turbine and generator

A hydroelectric power plant is being designed. The gross head from the reservoir to the tailrace is 1065 ft, and the volume flow rate of water through each turbine is 203,000 gpm at 70°F. There are 12 identical parallel turbines, each with an efficiency of 95.2 percent, and all other mechanical energy losses (through the penstock, etc.) are estimated to reduce the output by 3.5 percent. The generator itself has an efficiency of 94.5 percent. Estimate the electric power production from the plant in MW
