The shaft power delivered in a hydroelectric power plant is 30 KW. The plant has a working available head of 50 meters with hydraulic efficiency of 85% and mechanical efficiency of 92 %. Compute the discharge flow rate of the turbine.
Added by Gary J.
Step 1
This can be calculated using the formula: Hydraulic Power = Shaft Power / Hydraulic Efficiency Substituting the given values: Hydraulic Power = 30 KW / 0.85 = 35.29 KW Show more…
