A hydroelectric plant has a head of 57 m and a water volumetric flow rate of 500 m/s. Determine the maximum power that the plant.can produce, the
amount of electrical power that can be produced if the overall efficiency of the plant is 43%, the energy that the plant will produce for operating hours
of 8000h. (Take the density of water as 1000 kg/m).
O a. Pmax = 280 MW, Pelec = 120.4 MW, E 963.2 GWh
O b. Pmax = 250 MW, Peec 87.3 MW, E = 791 GWh
O C. Pmax- 231 MW, Peiec = 101 MW, E - 766 GWh
O d. Pmax = 331 MW, Peiec- 99.4 MW, E- 714 GWh
O e. Pmax = 216 MW, Pelec = 98.9 MW, E - 791 GWh
