A water turbine is placed at the bottom of a hill. It receives Q = 30 m³/s of water from a large lake at the top of the hill. The elevation difference between the turbine and the free surface of the lake is h = 100 m. Water leaves turbine with the speed V₂ = 2 m/s. Head loss in the water supply pipe connecting turbine and the lake is 20 m. Calculate power (in MW) transferred from the water to the turbine.

3. In a Rankine cycle, the water enters the turbine at a pressure of L = 15 MPa and M = 525 ° C. Condenser pressure is N = 10 kPa. At the condenser outlet, it is assumed that the water is saturated liquid and the pump inlet pressure is again N = 10 kPa. Since the isentropic efficiency of the pump is Y 80%, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is Z = 60%, a-) Calculate the heat given...
