EXAMPLE 319
[A hydroelecsie power plant (Fig. H3.19) cakes in 30 m°Vs of water through its turbine and dis-
charges itto the atmosphere a V; = 2 ms. The head los inthe turbine and penstock system is

Solution
‘We neglect viseous work and heat transfer and take section 1 at the reservoir surface (Fig. 3.19),
where Vi = 0, p. ~ pany and 2; ~ 100 m. Section 2s a the turbine outlet. The steady-low en-
ergy equation (3.71) Becomes, in head form,

‘The pressure tems cancel, and we may solve forthe turbine head (which is positive):
h,= 100 20-02= 798m
‘The turbine extracts about 79.8 percent of the 100-m head available from the dam. The ‘otal
power extracted may be evaluated from the water mass flow:

‘The turbine drives an electic generator which probably has losses af about 15 perceal, so the
et power generated by this hydroelecse plant is about 20 MW.
EXAMPLE 320
‘The pump in Fig. E3.20 delivers water (62.4 Tb) at 3 10/5 to a machine at section 2, which
is 20 higher than the reservoir surface, The losses between 1 and 2 ate given by hy = KVHQ),
