Reconsider Prob. 1245E. Determine the flow rate of water if the irreversible head loss of the piping
Question:
Reconsider Prob. 12–45E. Determine the flow rate of water if the irreversible head loss of the piping system between the free surfaces of the inlet and the outlet is 36 ft.
In Problem
In a hydroelectric power plant, water flows from an elevation of 400 ft to a turbine, where electric power is generated. For an overall turbine–generator efficiency of 85 percent, determine the minimum flow rate required to generate 100 kW of electricity.
