Problem 5. Water 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. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.2 m. For a combined turbine-generator efficiency of 83 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors. What could be changed in the geometry of this system to increase the electric power output of the turbine? 30 cm 25 cm Turbine AP = 1.2 m Hg Generator
