( /10) Problem 2: A hydropower site is to be designed with an overall efficiency of 90% and to produce a total power of 200 MW. The available flow rate is 80 m³/s. Assume that the turbine will be operated at a speed of 600 rpm. ( a) Identify a suitable type of hydraulic turbine to be used. Show detailed analysis, b) Calculate the approximate size, /3.0 points) /6.0 points) ( c) What would happen to the diameter (Increases OR Decreases OR Remains Constant) as the speed increases? (no need for calculation). ( /1.0 point)
