Water is supplied at 160 ft/s and 64 psi to a hydraulic turbine through a 3-ft inside-diameter inlet pipe as indicated in the figure below. The turbine discharge pipe has a 4.8-ft inside diameter. The static pressure at section (2), 10 ft below the turbine inlet, is 10 in. Hg vacuum. If the turbine develops 2500 hp, determine the rate of loss of available energy between sections (1) and (2). Section (1). P = 64 psi Q=160ft/s D = 3 ft 10 ft Turbine power loss = i P = 10 in.
