A stream with Q = 8 m3/s Flow rate is passed through the turbine by means of a pressure pipe. its velocity at the entrance of the pipe V1 = 4 m/s, the exit velocity from the pipe at the point where it is released back into the stream after the turbine is V2= 1 m/s. The height of drop between the inlet and outlet of the pipe is 80 m and the energy converted to heat is 10 m inside the pressure pipe , determine the energy transferred to the turbine and the theoretical strength of turbine.

 A stream with Q = 8 m3/s Flow rate is passed through the turbine by means of a pressure pipe. its velocity at the entrance of the pipe V1 = 4 m/s, the exit velocity from the pipe at the point where it is released back into the stream after the turbine is V2= 1 m/s. The height of drop between the inlet and outlet of the pipe is 80 m and the energy converted to heat is 10 m inside the pressure pipe , determine the energy transferred to the turbine and the theoretical strength of turbine.
