Problem 4: Water is supplied at 150 ft³/s and 60 psig to a hydraulic turbine through a 3-ft inside diameter inlet pipe as indicated in the figure below. The turbine discharge pipe has a 4-ft inside diameter. The static gage pressure at section (2), 10 ft below the turbine inlet, is 10-in Hg vacuum. If the turbine develops 2500 hp determine the friction head loss between sections (1) and (2). (S.G.)Hg = 13.6; Ywater = 62.4 lbf/ft³.

Problem 4: Water is supplied at 150 ft'/s and 60 psig to a hydraulic turbine through
a 3-ft inside diameter inlet pipe as indicated in the figure below. The turbine
discharge pipe has a 4-ft inside diameter. The static gage pressure at section (2),
10 ft below the turbine inlet, is 10-in Hg vacuum. If the turbine develops 2500 hp
determine the friction head loss between sections (1) and (2). (S.G.)Hg
