Question

Consider the hydropower schematic shown below with a lake of 70m elevation above a turbine house.  

 

Water is running through a 0.3m diameter cast-iron pipeline at 3,000 gallons per minute.

 

Determine the head loss due to frictional effects (i.e., viscous dissipation)

 

Calculate horsepower that can be generated with the turbine system assuming a 40% efficiency. Assume that the turbine outlet is in contact with the open atmosphere.
