A turbine system is harnessing the energy of flowing water from reservoir 1 to reservoir 2. The difference in elevation between the two reservoirs is 120ft. For a design flowrate of 50ft^3/s, the head loss is 30ft. Solve the efficiency of the turbine if the actual energy extracted is 100hp. Neglect the difference in atmospheric pressure between the reservoirs, 35.60% 19.60% 40.80% 24.90%

Question

A turbine system is harnessing the energy of flowing water from reservoir 1 to reservoir 2. The difference in elevation between the two reservoirs is 120ft. For a design flowrate of 50ft^3/s, the head loss is 30ft. Solve the efficiency of the turbine if the actual energy extracted is 100hp. Neglect the difference in atmospheric pressure between the reservoirs.

The choices are there. Pls show complete solution. we only accept 4 decimal places and refeer  to 9.807 m/s^2 instead of 9.81. thank you
