285 L/s under a head h, of 13.5 m. In the field,

In a testing laboratory, a certain turbine has been found to discharge 285 L/s under a head h, of 13.5 m. In the field, it is to be installed near the end of a pipe 110 m long (Fig. P8.73). The supply line (flush entrance) and discharge line (submerged exit) will both have diameters of 250 mm with f=0.024. The total fall from the surface of the water at intake to the surface of the tailwater will be 15.5 m. What will be the head on the turbine, the rate of discharge, and the power delivered to the flow? Note that for turbines, Q (from Eq. 16.17). Flush L.D.f Figure P8.73 (T) Az + 12
