Questions  

Water falls from a height of 60 m at the rate of 15 kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional forces are 10% of energy. How much power is generated by the turbine?

(g = 10 m/s2)

a
8.1 kW
b
10.2 kW
c
12.3 kW
d
7.0 kW

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Power generated by the turbine is,Pgenerated = Pinput×90100= Mght×90100Putting the given valuesMt = 15 kg/s, g = 10 m/s2, h = 60 mPgenerated = (15×10×60)×90100                = 8.1 kW
