A small hydro turbine is placed between tank 1 and tank 2. The water is flowing at a mass flow rate of 2.2 kg/s from tank 1 to tank 2. There are three pipe sections between the two tanks as follow: pipe A connects between tank 2 and the turbine, pipe B connects between the turbine and point G, pipe C from point G to tank 1. There are a number of valves and fitting between the two tanks, as shown. Using the given details, calculate (i) the minor losses between the two tanks, (ii) the major friction losses between the two tanks (iii) the head of the turbine. (iv) the generated horsepower from the turbine. (v) the pressure at point G which is 24 m above tank 2. (vi) Draw the EGL and HGL for the system. Z = 74.2 m, Z = 13 m, p = 997.4 kg/m, v = 1.03x10-6 m/s A = 24.8 m, dA = 6 cm, EB = 0.04 mm. le = 21.7 m, ds = 4.1 cm, &g = 0.03 mm. lc = 31 m, dc = 2.3 cm, Ec = 0 mm.
