The piping efficiency of a hydroelectric power plant is estimated to be 98 percent while the turbine

Question:

The piping efficiency of a hydroelectric power plant is estimated to be 98 percent while the turbine efficiency based on the net head is 87 percent and the generator efficiency is 97 percent. If the elevation difference between the reservoir surface upstream of the dam and the surface of the water exiting the dam is 220 m, determine the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric plant and the electric power output. The flow rate through the turbine is 600 L/s.
