A turbine is rated at 600hp when the flow of water through it is 82cu.m/sec. Assuming an efficiency of 92%, what is the head acting on the turbine?
Convert a pressure head of 10 m water column to kerosene of specific gravity equal to 0.8 and to Carbon tetrachloride of specific gravity 1.6
The flow rate of the hydroelectric power plant in the figure is 50 m3/s, and 2 meters of water column energy loss occurs due to friction in the pipeline. Find the power that water transfers to the turbine. Calculate the theoretical and actual power of the turbine by taking the efficiency of the turbine-generator group, η = 0.92. (Answer: Ntheoric=52 MW and Nreal=48 MW)
