Components of Hydroelectric Power Plant

A hydro electric power plant derives the energy from the force of fast moving water to harness energy. The demand for energy needs has impacted the environment resulting in global warming. Extensive use of non-renewable energy sources like petrol and diesel is the primary reason for environmental pollution. A major shift from non-renewable energy sources to renewable energy sources is the only solution to encounter the rising issue of environmental damage.

Question

Two reservoirs A and B have elevations of 250 m and 100 m, respectively. It is connected by a pipe having a
diameter of 250 mm and a length of 100 m. A turbine, with an efficiency of 0.95, which is installed at a point in
between A and B, is used to supply 233 kW of electric power to a nearby community. If the total head loss as water
travelled from reservoir A to B is 25 m, determine the discharge inside the pipe in liters per second.
