Q4
Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30 cm diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3/s and exit
through a 25 cm Diameter pipe as shown in Figure 4. The pressure drop in the turbine is 148
kPa. Combined turbine- generator efficiency is 83 percent. Assume the kinetic energy correction
factor to be 1.05.
Calculate:

a. The inlet and outlet water velocities through the turbine

b. The turbine head and
c. the electric power output.
