Question

Water enters a hydraulic turbine through a 35-cm diameter pipe at a rate of 0.8 m^3/s and exits through a 30-cm diameter pipe. The pressure drop in the turbine is measured by a mercury manometer to be 1.0 m. For a combined turbine-generator efficiency of 80 percent, determine the net electric power output. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors.
