Question

P3. 174 The pump-turbine system in Fig. P3. 174 draws water from the upper reservoir in the daytime to produce power for a city. At night, it pumps water from

lower to upper reservoirs to restore the situation. For a design flow rate of 15,000 gal/min in either direction, the friction head loss is 17 ft. Estimate the power in kW (a) extracted by the turbine and (b) delivered by the pump.
