8-147 In a hydroelectric power plant, water at 20°C is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 0.55 m³/s through a 200-m-long, 0.35-m-diameter cast iron pipe. The elevation difference between the free surface of the reservoir and the tur- bine discharge is 140 m, and the combined turbine-generator efficiency is 85 percent. Disregarding the minor losses because of the large length-to-diameter ratio, determine the electric power output of this plant.
A pipe is used to deliver water at a rate of 3.8 m³/s from the intake to the turbine. The difference in elevation between the intake’s water surface and the turbine is 200 m. Knowing the headloss in the pipeline from the intake to the turbine is 8 m, find the power (in kW) generated by the turbine if its efficiency is 80%.

Pls answer ASAP. A hydroelectric power plant takes in 1060 ft³/s of water through its turbine and discharges it to the atmosphere at 7 ft/s. The head loss in the penstock is 66 ft. Estimate the power extracted by the turbine in horsepower. Show fbd.
8. Energy Equation Water at the Lake William Dam 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. For the system, elevation effects are negligible and the pressure drop across the turbine is measured to be 148 kPa.
