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 )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE
Energy imparted to the turbine per unit time= mgh
= 15 x 10 x 60 = 9000]/s.
10%loss = 900J/s
Power to the turbine = (9000 - 900) = 8100 J/s
P = 8.1 kW
