The hydroelectric turbine shown in the figure passes 8.1 million gal/min (30.66E3 m3/min) across a head of 600 ft (h in the figure below). Given this arrangement, what is the max turbine head that could be achieved? Hint: consider that the exit velocity from the turbine is very low, indicating the turbine has removed as much kinetic energy as possible from the flow for max output. It is also a jet of water as shown. h Turbine = Let density = 1.94 slugs/ft3 & specific weight = 62.4 lb/ft3 or density = 1000 kg/m3 and gravity = 9.8 m/s2 =
