For a hydroelectric plant, a hydraulic turbine-generator is installed at the site below the free surface. The turbine drives a generator for electricity. The
elevation difference between the two free surfaces is h=20m. The power input from the fluid to the turbine is is W = 100kW. The shaft power
fluid
output from the turbine is W = 80kW.
