Water from the reservoir flows through the 150-m long, 50-mm diameter pipe into the turbine at B. If the head loss in the pipe is 1.5 m for every 100-m length of pipe, and the water exits the pipe at C with an average velocity of 8 m/s, determine the power output of the turbine. The turbine operates at 60% efficiency. How many homes can this turbine provide electricity to? (You will need to find the typical energy usage for a home.) A

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%.
Water must flow over a distance of 2 800 m from a large catchment dam to a turbine. The water level in the catchment dam is 1 620 m above sea level and the turbine is situated 1 275 m above sea level. The efficiency of transmission is 65% and 300 kW must be transmitted from the pipeline to the turbine. If f = 0.007, determine the number of 200 mm diameter pipelines, which must be laid in parallel, needed to transmit the required power.
