Problem: As the engineer of this hydropower dam, you are to decide about the flow of water in m/s that the plant needs to allow into the penstock to have maximum power production. What is that flow rate? And how much power can the turbine generate at that flow rate? You will learn about calculating friction losses in Chapter 6. For now, assume hq = 0.00202. 21 = 50 m v 22 = 10 m 23 = 0 m Turbine
