Mechanical Engineering

Consider a small Pelton wheel hydro turbine, with a total head(reservoir surface to nozzle elevation difference) of Ht = 200 ft.The flowrate to the turbine is 185 gal/s. If the pipe (penstock)feeding the turbine has a length of 1000 ft, a diameter of 19.6 in,and a friction factor of f = 0.005, determine the percent of totalhead lost in the pipe (penstock). Submit your answer as apercentage but without the percent symbol. ***NOTE: The value ofthe friction factor f is consistent with the definition in ourtextbook (and may differ from other textbooks). Using ourtextbook's notation, you could also use f' = 4f = 0.02.***
