(b) A pipeline 1400m long supplies water to 4 single jet Pelton wheels. The head above the nozzle is 400m. The velocity coefficient for the nozzle is 0.98 and the coefficient of friction for the pipeline is 0.025. The turbine efficiency based on the head at the nozzle is 0.85. The specific speed of each turbine is 18.2(in m,kW, r.p.m, units) and the head lost due to friction in the pipeline is 22m of water. If the operating speed of each turbine is 600 r.p.m., determine:
(i) the total power developed.
(ii) volume of water used per second
(iii) the diameter of each nozzle.
(iv) the diameter of the pipeline.
( b ) A pipeline 1 4 0 0 m long supplies water to
