Question 5: Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30-cm diameter o pipe at a rate of 0.6 m/s and exits through a 25-cm diameter pipe. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured to be 148 kPa. For a combined turbine-generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors. 30 cm Turbine Generator 25 cm Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 All losses in the turbine are accounted for by turbine efficiency and thus h 0.3 The elevation difference across the turbine is negligible. 4 The effect of the kinetic energy correction factors is negligible. o00=1.
