Question
Turbines convert the energy
contained within a fluid into mechanical
energy or shaft work. Turbines are often
used in power plants with generators to
produce electricity. In the figure below,
water is permitted to flow through a
passageway to the turbine, after which the
water drains through the outlet at a rate of
30 cubic meters per second.
(a) Determine the head lost (in meters)
to the turbine at this flowrate.
(b) Compute the power (in MW) that
can be generated by the turbine at
this flow rate.
