The water level in the forebay of a hydroelectric power plant is at an elevation of 150 m above the nozzle of a Pelton wheel. The length and diameter of steel penstock with absolute roughness of 0.05 mm are 1250 m and 0.5 m, respectively. Determine net head if loss coefficients for entrance and the nozzle are 0.5 and 0.04, respectively and the discharge through a nozzle of 0.12 m diameter is 0.6 m³/s.

The water level in the forebay of a
hydroelectric power plant is at an elevation
of 150 m above the nozzle of a Pelton
wheel. The length and diameter of steel
penstock with absolute roughness of 0.05
mm are 1250 m and 0.5 m, respectively.
Determine net head if loss coefficients for
entrance and the nozzle are 0.5 and 0.04,
respectively and the discharge through a
nozzle of 0.12 m diameter is 0.6 m³/s.
