Shown is a preliminary layout for a proposed small hydroelectric project. The initial design calls for a discharge of 8 cfs through the penstock and turbine. Assume 80% turbine efficiency. For this setup, what power output could be expected from the power plant? Draw the HGL and EGL for the system.
