Question: Water at 2 0 C ( density = 1 0 0 0 k g m 3 , viscosity = 0 . 0 0 1 k

Water at 20C(density =1000kgm3, viscosity =0.001kgm.s) flows through a turbine at 16m3h as shown in Figure 1.1. The lengths of the pipes are 40m,24m and 50m for the 5-cm pipe, 15-cm pipe, and 7.5-cm pipe respectively. All the pipes are made of cast iron. The 5-cm pipe consist of three 90 elbows and there is a wide open globe valve in the 7.5-cm pipe.
1.1 Calculate all the frictional losses in the system in J/kg.
1.2 Assuming the exit elevation is zero, calculate the power extracted by the turbine if the efficiency of the turbine is 85%.
