Question

84 The large turbine in Fig. P3.184 diverts the river flow underdam as shown. System friction losses are h; = 3.5V²I(2g),where V is the average velocity in the supply pipe.

For what river flow rate in m³/s will the power extracted be25 MW? Which of the two possible solutions has a better"conversion efficiency"?
