A double overhung impulse turbine of 85% efficiency is direct-connected to a 30-MW generator of 93% efficiency. Elevation of head water level is 832 m above sea level, elevation of tailwater level is 384 m above sea level, turbine setting is 3.7 m, velocity of flow in penstock is equal to 0.025√2gh, loss of head due to friction is 2% of gross head. Compute: a) Flow in second metre through penstock. b) Flow in second metre through turbine. c) Diameter of jet in mm if nozzle efficiency is 98%.
