General Energy Equation: Pump and Turbine Analysis

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 3 Control Volume Analysis, Part 10: The general Energy Equation. The Bernoulli equation is extended to include the effects of pumps, turbines and pipe friction. The topics of hydraulic power and pump/turbine efficiency are covered. A sample problem is solved for a system with a hydraulic turbine. This is followed by a discussion of the types of hydraulic turbines that are used for hydroelectric power generation.

thank youu 🤩

[@rubarmahmud334]

reference of this question??plz ?

[@FluidMatters]

Sorry, I can't recall... This is an old one. I've been teaching fluid mechanics for 20+ years. It's from one of the old "classics".

Found it: This is an end-of-Chapter problem in Munson, Young and Okiishi, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, 2nd Edition, 1994, Wiley
