Hydroelectric power: Small hydroelectric plants in the mountains
sometimes bring the water from a reservoir down to the power plant
through enclosed tubes. In one such plant, the 100-cm-diameter
intake tube in the base of the dam is 50 m below the reservoir
surface. The water drops 200 m through the tube before flowing into
the turbine through a 50-cm-diameter nozzle.
a. What is the water speed into the turbine?
b. By how much does the inlet pressure differ from the
hydrostatic pressure at that depth?
