Question

The hydroelectric turbine shown in the figure below passes 8.2 million gal/min across a head of 560 ft. (a) What is the maximum amount of power output possible? (b) Why will the actual amount be less? Assume h = 560 ft. Turbine (a) $W_{max}$ = hp (b) The actual power will be less by amounts corresponding to loss. The actual power will be less by amounts corresponding to exit kinetic energy. All of the above.

Step 1

The power ($P$) can be calculated using the formula: $P = \rho g Q h$ where: $\rho$ is the density of water (approximately $62.4 \text{ lb/ft}^3$ in US customary units). $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity ($32.2 \text{ ft/s}^2$). $Q$ is the volumetric flow Show more…
