Determine the power produced when the wheel is turning under optimum conditions.
Water flows from a lake through a 500-m-long pipe having a diameter of 300 mm and a friction factor of \( f=0.025\). The flow from the pipe passes through a \(60-\mathrm{mm}\)-diameter nozzle and is used to drive the Pelton wheel, where the bucket deflection angles are \(165^{\circ}\). Neglect minor losses.
