The 24-in. pipe conducts water from reservoir A to a pressure turbine, which discharges through another 24-in. pipe into tailrace B. The loss of head from A to 1 is 5 times the velocity head in the pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is 0.2 times the velocity head in the pipe. If the discharge is 25 cfs, (a) What is the head extracted, he, (ft) by the turbine? (b) What horsepower is being given up by the water to the turbine?
