Question

Problem 1: Hydroelectric Power For the reservoir shown, what is the theoretical power available at point 2? Assume the pressure at point 2 is atmospheric. That is, what horsepower can

be generated by an ideal turbine(n = 100%) that converts all of the kinetic energy at point 2 into electrical power? [hp] Assume the reservoir water surface is at elevation z = 68 ft, point M is at z= 32 ft, point 2 is at z = 0.0 ft, and the pipeline diameter is D = 1.0 ft. Head loss in the pipeline is hi = 10.0 ft.
