A 12 m high weir above riverbed is constructed with 1.0 m free board. The 5 km long water conveyance system delivers 5 m3/s of water to a power plant having Francis type turbine. If the Elevation of weir crest is 1155+Student ID masl (e.g., Student ID= 123, Elevation of Weir crest 1155+123= 1278 masl) and that of tailrace is 1130 masl. Analyze the power generated by the power plant. Assume head loss of the water conveyance system= 2.5m and Turbine Efficiency = 90 %.

Question
Q.1. A 12 m high weir above riverbed is constructed with 1.0 m free board. The 5
km long water conveyance system delivers 5 m3/s of water to a power plant having
Francis type turbine. If the Elevation of weir crest is 1155+Student ID masl (e.g.,
Student ID= 123, Elevation of Weir crest 1155+123= 1278 masl) and that of tailrace
is 1130 masl. Analyze the power generated by the power plant.
Assume head loss of the water conveyance system= 2.5m and Turbine Efficiency =
90 %.
