3. A 500 mm diameter pipe conducts water from reservoir A at elev. 70m to a pressure turbine, which discharges through a 600mm diameter pipe into basin B at elev. 7m. Point 1 in the conducting pipe and point 2 in the discharge pipe are of the same elevation as the turbine at elev. 11m. The loss of head from A to 1 is six times the velocity head in that pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is twice the velocity head in that pipe. If the discharge is 16 mega gallons per day, determine the a. head extracted by the turbine b. What horsepower is being given up by the water to the turbine? c. pressure head in 1
