Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30 cm diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m3 /s and exits through a 25 cm diameter pipe as shown in the Figure. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. For a combined turbine– generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Take the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.05. (Density of water and mercury can be taken as per the standards)

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
