Question: A stream with a flow rate of Q = 8 m3 /s is passed through the turbine by means of a pressure pipe. The velocity of the flow at the entrance of the pressure pipe is V1 = 4 m/s, and at the point where it is released back into the stream after the turbine, the velocity of the flow from the pipe is V2 = 1 m/s. Determine the height of energy transferred to the turbine and the theoretical power of the turbine, given that the drop height between the inlet and the outlet of the pipe is 80 m and the energy converted into heat in the pressure pipe is 10 m.
