Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 70 m below the free sur- face of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 3000 kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 800 kW and the electric power generation is 750 kW, determine the turbine efficiency and the combined tur- bine-generator efficiency of this plant. Friction in pipes = 8% of available potential energy. Answers: a) b)_ % %
