Water flows through a turbine as shown in figure, where the pipeline upstream of the turbine has a 2 diameter of 1.2m and the downstream pipeline has a diameter of 1.7m. The inflow section of the upstream pipeline is 4 m above the outflow section of the downstream pipeline. When the flow through the turbine is 6 m'/s. the pressure at the inflow section is 450 kPa, the pressure at the outflow section is -30 kPa, and the head loss between these two sections is estimated as 20 m. What is the power being delivered to the turbine?
