Water falls from a height of 60 m at the rate of 15 kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of the input energy. How much power is generated by the turbine? (g = 10 $m/s^2$)

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

[Solution] Input power = mgh/t = 15 × 10 × 60 = 9000 W; output = 90% of 9000 W = 8.1 kW. Answer (1).
