Given Information

We are given with following data

The elevation of upper reservoir surface is

z1=720m{z_1} = 720\,\,{\rm{m}}

The elevation of lower reservoir surface is

z2=695m{{\rm{z}}_2} = 695\,\,{\rm{m}}

The diameter of the pipe is

d=2.2md = 2.2\,\,{\rm{m}}

Total length of the pipe is

L=50mL = 50\,\,{\rm{m}}

Mean flow velocity is

V=2.4m/sV = 2.4\,\,{\rm{m/s}}

The friction factor is

f=0.25f = 0.25

Sum of minor loss coefficients is

K=4.7K = 4.7

Turbine Efficiency is

η=0.8\eta = 0.8

We need to find the power transmitted by the Turbine
