(a)
The power extracted by the turbine.

Answer to Problem 3.174P
The power extracted by the turbine is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The flow rate is
Write the expression for the Bernoulli’s equation between the inlet and outlet of the turbine.
Here, the pressure at Section (1) is
Since the pressure at the inlet and outlet are atmospheric pressure so the pressure at section (1) and section (2) are same.
Since the diameter of the pipe is constant, so the velocity at section (1) and section (2) is same.
Substitute
Write the expression for the turbine power.
Here, the power extracted by the turbine is
Calculation:
Substitute
Substitute
Convert the turbine power from
Conclusion:
The power extracted by the turbine is
