Water flows from reservoir A through a turbine and discharges to B through a 24 in diameter pipe. The head loss from point A to point B is 9.21 ft and the flowrate through the pipe is 30 ft3/s. Calculate the horsepower generated by the turbine a) if it has 100% efficiency and b) if it has 75% efficiency.

Question

Note: Read the question carefully and give me both a and b right solutions with clear calculations. 

Water flows from reservoir A through a turbine and discharges to B through a 24 in diameter pipe. The head loss from point A to point B is 9.21 ft and the flowrate through the pipe is 30 ft/s. Calculate the horsepower generated by the turbine a) if it has 100% efficiency and b) if it has 75% efficiency. z = 210 ft Turbine z = 10 ft 24 in diameter pipe z = 0 ft
