Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 89 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1,500kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 870 kW and the electric power generation is 775 kW, determine the input power to the turbine in kW. Neglect losses in the pipes. Use g= 9.81 (m/s?). Round the anewer cl se to the integer pumh ncimal pnint

Question
Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 89 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1.500kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 870 kW and the electric power generation is 775 kW, determine the input power to the turbine in kW. Negiect losses in the pipes. Use g =9.81 (m/s2). Round the answer close to the integer number without fraction or decimal point
