A pipe is used to deliver water at a rate of 3.8 m³/s from the intake to the turbine. The difference in elevation between the intake’s water surface and the turbine is 200 m. Knowing the headloss in the pipeline from the intake to the turbine is 8 m, find the power (in kW) generated by the turbine if its efficiency is 80%.
