There are two options available. You can choose either

one to work on. After you complete the project, please

upload your solution including a 1 page narrative on how

you obtained the solution in this assignment.

OPTION A

We want to design a penstock for a an impulse turbine

installation, as shown in the below figure. Assume that L

and H are known quantities (you can use any relevant

quantities that you would like). Find an optimum design

for maximum power generated. Report power generated,

nozzle diameter, and jet velocity.

Using the supplied pump (pump to use.pdf) with a 12.95"

impeller, determine the flow rate in GPM. The pipe

diameter is 8 cm and the pipe is cast iron.

What is the efficiency of the pump at this operating

point? How much power must be supplied to the pump?

Using NPSH, determine restrictions on the placement of

the pump (how close to the 2nd reservoir can it be?)
