PROBLEM: A 90-cm ID pipeline (f = 0.020) of length 3000 m connects a reservoir whose water surface elevation is 540 m to a nozzle at elevation of 300m. The jet from the nozzle is used to drive an impulse turbine. If the head loss through the nozzle is expressible as 0.04 (a) Determine the jet diameter that will give a jet of maximum power. (b) Evaluate this maximum Jet power.
