Water falls from a height of 60 m at the rate of 15 kg s - 1 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 )

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Change in potential energy of water per second = 15 × g × 60 = 9000 J s - 1 Energy remaining per second after loss = 90 % of 9000 J s - 1 = 90 100 × 9000 = 8100 J s - 1 = 8 . 1 kW
