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 %.

Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.
