The mean monthly discharge for 12 months at a particular site of a river is tabulated below. Month | Q. 10^6 m^3/month April | 300 May | 300 June | 1200 July | 5200 August | 3500 September | 2500 October | 2100 November | 1600 December | 1700 January | 1300 February | 700 March | 500 a) Draw the hydrograph for the given Q and find the average monthly flow. b) Draw the flow duration curve and find the average flow is available during the year. c) Find the available power at mean flow if the available head is 65 m and ηo = 90%. Take 30 days in a month. d) Find the size of the reservoir and the possible rate of available flow after the reservoir had been built with help of mass curve.

'12. A hydro-electric plant has a catchment are of 120 square km. The available run off is 50% with annual rainfall of 100 cm: A head of 250 m is available on the average. Efficiency of the power plant is 70% _ Find average power produced (ii) capacity of the power plant: Assume a load factor of 0.6.'

A factory is located near a waterfall where the usable head for power generation is 25 m. The factory requires continuous power of 400 kW throughout the year. The river flow in a year is: • 10 m^3/s for 4 months • 6 m^3/s for 2 months • 1.5 m^3/s for 6 months If the site is developed as a run-of-river type of plant, without storage, determine the standby capacity to be provided.
